Web search reveals an FIR filed in April 2017 against Radhakrishnan and two other AIADMK ministers for allegedly obstructing income tax officials during raids at Health Minister C. Vijayabhaskar's residence. This incident is not reflected in the current affidavit's criminal cases, which list charges related to unlawful assembly, public nuisance, wrongful restraint, house trespass, and obstructing public servants. The 2017 FIR specifically involved obstruction of tax officials during an investigation, suggesting additional legal scrutiny beyond the declared cases.

Achievements
• Successfully retained Udumalpet seat in 2021 with significantly improved vote share (49.85%) compared to 2016 (44.73%), demonstrating growing constituency support
• Served as Minister for Housing and Urban Development (2016-2017) and Animal Husbandry (2017-2021), implementing government welfare schemes for farmers, fishermen, and housing infrastructure
• Managed Tamil Nadu Arasu Cable TV Corporation Limited as Chairman for two separate terms (2011-2016, 2019-2021), overseeing state cable television regulation and development
Radhakrishnan is viewed as a senior AIADMK loyalist who delivered electoral victories in Udumalpet with increasing margins (49.85% in 2021 vs 44.73% in 2016). However, his tenure as minister was marked by the 2017 controversy involving obstruction of income tax officials, which remains a point of criticism. Limited recent public engagement or social media presence suggests lower visibility compared to other state-level leaders.
