Former DMK Minister E.V. Velu and Son Seek Anticipatory Bail in Lake Bed Mining Case

Former DMK Minister E.V. Velu and his son E.V. Kumaran filed anticipatory bail petitions before the Madras High Court in an illegal sand mining case.

Justice V. Lakshminarayanan granted the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption time until October 13 to file written objections, advising no coercive action for now.

The DVAC registered the FIR on September 24 over allegations of excavating over 45 lakh cubic feet of sand from Malappambadi lake, causing an ₹8.22 crore loss.
