DVAC raids 25 properties tied to DMK deputy floor leader KN Nehru

The <b>DVAC</b> launched searches on <b>25 properties</b> linked to DMK deputy floor leader <b>KN Nehru</b> across Chennai and Trichy on Thursday, citing a probe into alleged irregularities. The operation underscores the chronic lag in enforcement, where raids often arrive after assets have been shuffled, exposing a system that reacts rather than prevents corruption. Meanwhile, bureaucratic inertia and political patronage often shield such holdings, leaving ordinary taxpayers to shoulder the cost. Citizens fear the delayed crackdown does little to deter future misuse of public office.
