THE Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) has booked a corruption case against former housing minister R Vaithilingam, his two sons and Shriram Properties, a private company, in a ₹27.9crore bribe-for-planning permission case.
As per the FIR filed by the anti-corruption agency on September 19, Shriram Properties allegedly routed 27.9-crore bribe in 2016 through associated firms to a shell company owned by Vaithilingam's sons in lieu of planning permission given to them by the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) for construction of 1,453 residential and IT buildings on a 57.94acre plot in Perungalathur near Chennai.
Vaithilingam was housing minister and CMDA chairman from 2011 to 2016 in the AIADMK government. He is currently a legislator from Orathanadu constituency in Thanjavur district.
The FIR is based on a complaint filed by Jayaram Venkatesan, convenor of NGO Arappor Iyakkam. The Tamil Nadu government had accorded permission to file the FIR in the case in July 2022.
