Chinnasamy, who was an AIADMK MLA from Singanallur constituency from 2011 to 2016, is currently in TTV Dhinakaran’s Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK).
Based on a complaint that he mishandled funds of the union to the tune of Rs 8 crore when he was its secretary, Central Crime Branch has registered a case. After an investigation, CCB sleuths rushed to Singanallur and arrested Chinnasamy.
Having represented Singanallur constituency in the assembly for two consecutive terms, he was appointed as the secretary of the Anna Thozhir Sanga Peravai in 2009 by the former chief minister and then AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa.
It may be recalled that Chinnasamy had challenged chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami and deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam’s decision to remove him from the trade union’s secretary post in the high court in February.
