Actress Kayadu Lohar, who recently rose to prominence with her role in Ashwath Marimuthu’s Dragon alongside Pradeep Ranganathan, is now reportedly under investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the TASMAC scam in Tamil Nadu. According to a MidDay report, Kayadu has come under the ED’s radar after individuals arrested during recent raids allegedly named her during questioning. She is reportedly being probed for her alleged involvement, with claims that she charged ₹35 lakh for attending certain “night parties” connected to those involved in the scam.
The TASMAC scam revolves around alleged financial irregularities in Tamil Nadu’s state-run liquor distribution agency, TASMAC (Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation). The ED had launched a money laundering probe into the case, citing corruption worth over ₹1000 crore. However, the Supreme Court recently stayed the probe, criticizing the ED for “crossing all limits” and violating federal principles of governance. The law officer, defending the agency’s actions, stated that the case involved significant corruption and that the ED’s actions were justified.
As of now, Kayadu Lohar has not issued any public statement addressing her alleged involvement in the case.
