It isn't over for AIADMK leader TTV Dinakaran instead just the beginning for the ousted deputy general secretary, who is being probed in an alleged bribery case. The Delhi Crime Branch has recovered his five bank accounts from Chennai in which huge amount of transactions have been carried out.
According to sources, the crime branch today questioned Dinakaran and all the alleged hawala operators together to establish their relation and how many times did they meet in the past few days.
As per sources, a lot of money was transferred to many hawala operators. Next in the line is Dinakaran's chartered accountant who will be called by Delhi Police for questioning to connect the dots.
When Dinakaran was taken to Chennai, the Delhi Police searched his residence, a informal investigation was done with his wife and questioned his personal assistant too.
Police have also recovered details of communication between Sumesh and Dinakaran. He was brought back to Delhi yesterday by the Delhi Crime Branch for further questioning in the bribery case.
The Delhi Police questioned several Hawala operators suspected to have been involved to the money trail in the bribery case. Earlier on Friday, a Delhi Court sent alleged middleman Chandrashekhar to judicial custody till May 12 and Dinakaran and Hawala operator Naresh Jain in connection with a bribery case to police remand till April 30. Sources say, in all likelihood, Delhi Police may appeal to extend their custody.
During his third day of interrogation, sources said Dinakaran refused to have known Sukesh, but later accepted that he met him. However, Dinakaran maintained that he did not pay any money to Sukesh.
Dinakaran had reportedly, through Chandrashekhar, sought the 'Two Leaves' symbol of the AIADMK by allegedly trying to bribe an Election Commission official.
