A Raja’s brother arrested on charges of ‘bribing’ voters

Kaliaperumal,a businessman,has been slapped with cases under various sections of IPC,including bribery and violation of Representation of People’s Act. Police said they also seized some calendars and diaries from his possession.

On April 9,police had taken Kaliaperumal into custody for allegedly distributing money to Self Helf Women Groups and a case was registerd against him following strong protests from opposition parties as well as locals and intervention by Election Commission.

The Enforcement Directorate and the CBI had questioned Kaliaperumal in February in connection with the 2G Spectrum scam,in which Raja has been arrested.
