Overview
- ED sent a 258-page dossier on December 3 to the Chief Secretary, DGP and DVAC, urging Tamil Nadu police to register a case enabling a PMLA probe.
- The agency cites WhatsApp chats and calculation sheets seized in April from associates of K N Nehru that it says show pre-decided tenders and payoffs.
- Contractors allegedly paid 7.5–10% of contract values as “party funds,” with bribes routed through hawala networks and collections by departmental officers.
- ED says some material was found during a probe linked to a CBI bank-fraud case involving True Value Homes and was transferred after that case was quashed.
- This is ED’s second recent communication on MAWS, following an October letter on a cash-for-jobs scheme, as Nehru dismisses the charges and the opposition presses for action.
