Overview

  • Kayadu Lohar, known for her role in the Tamil film 'Dragon,' is under investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the TASMAC scam.
  • The ED alleges that Lohar received ₹35 lakh from individuals linked to the ₹1000 crore scam to attend night parties, which may have served as fronts for money laundering.
  • Her name surfaced during ED raids and interrogations of individuals arrested in the TASMAC case, but she has not been officially summoned or charged.
  • The TASMAC scam involves allegations of illegal liquor sales, fake billing, and kickbacks within Tamil Nadu's state-run liquor network.
  • The Supreme Court has stayed the ED's broader money laundering probe into TASMAC, citing concerns over jurisdictional overreach, though investigations into Lohar's financial dealings continue.
