K.Ponmudy
DMK · Won in 2021
Assets declared at ₹145 crore+ are exceptionally high for a 51-year-old politician. With movable assets of ₹132 crore+ (primarily liquid wealth), this raises questions about income sources. His father K. Ponmudy was convicted in a disproportionate assets case in 2023 and both father and son were raided by ED in money laundering probe linked to mining irregularities (2007-2011) involving ₹28 crore loss to exchequer. The massive wealth accumulation warrants scrutiny given family's legal troubles over disproportionate assets.
Total Assets
₹145.39 Cr
Movable Assets

Immovable Assets

Liabilities

Affidavit shows 2 cases with Enforcement Directorate case numbers but minimal details. Web search reveals substantive ED investigation into money laundering linked to mining irregularities (2007-2011) when his father was mining minister, involving alleged loss of ₹28 crore to exchequer through violation of quarry license conditions. Madras High Court refused to stay trial when he approached for relief. These appear to be the cases referenced in affidavit but voters deserve full context.

• Successfully retained political ground in 2021 Assembly elections with 57% vote share from Tirukkoyilur constituency
