Notably, Shankar had claimed that in December 2024 he exposed "corruption" vis-a-vis the use of 230 vehicles, provided under a government scheme, for sewage clearance-related tasks and a top Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) leader had a key role in facilitating corruption and receipt of kickbacks, reported PTI.
On Tuesday, The Tamil Nadu Police' CB-CID wing will probe the incident. The development came in the wake of Shankar making "certain allegations against the Greater Chennai Police and the Commissioner of Police," in an interview, a release from the office of Director General of Police, Shankar Jiwal, said.
"Hence, the Commissioner of Police, Greater Chennai Police requested for transferring the aforementioned CSR to any other agency for enquiry.
