Son-in-law of Alagiri questioned

Police held a marathon interrogation for more than 10 hours with Venkatesh, the son-in-law of Union Minister Alagiri, in connection with their search for Durai Dayanidhi and P K Selvaraj, one of owners of the Sindhu Granites.

The enquiry was held here on Tuesday, on the eve of DMK district executive committee meeting to be conducted under the leadership of Union Minister and south zone organising secretary Alagiri on Wednesday.

Police said that he was summoned for the probe into the granite cases. “We have asked more questions about Olympus Granite company in which Durai Dayanidhi was one of directors. We also advised him not to give asylum to Durai Dayanidhi as he is an accused in the illegal granite case and the police are searching for him,” an official added.

Venkatesh, an architect, is the husband of Kayalvizhi, daughter of Alagiri. The couple are living in Thiruvanmiyur in Chennai.

Earlier, the teams interrogated one Rathinavelu, father of Alagiri’s daughter Anjuga selvi’s husband Dr Vivek.
