ED presses for FIR against DMK minister KN Nehru in one more scam

Chennai, Dec 8 (UNI) Already under the scanner of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), senior Tamil Nadu Minister and DMK veteran KN Nehru is once again facing the central agency’s heat in yet another alleged Rs 1,020 crore scam pertaining to tender manipulation in the Municipal and Water Administration (MWAS) Department.
The ED has sought registration of an FIR in the scam relating to rigging of tender allotment to contractors so that it can launch a probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
According to the agency, the evidence on hand is only a tip of the ice-berg and required further probe. Coming months ahead of the 2026 Assembly election, this could provide the opposition a stick to beat the DMK government of MK Stalin.
