It is none other than SC Jayachandra, the suspended bureaucrat who was arrested on December 12 on charges of money laundering. The income tax department had seized Rs 4.7 crore in the newly issued Rs 2,000 notes from Jaychandra's residence at the Raj Mahal Vilas extension. He was arrested by the enforcement directorate under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Interestingly, his was the country’s first case of recovery in the rare new Rs 2000 currency notes.Â

According to the I-T report, others found possessing new currency notes were contractors Ibrahim Shereef (Rs 4.8 crore), Nazeer Ahmed (Rs 32.7 lakh) and Chandrakanth Ramalingam (Rs 46 lakh).

Ironically, there is a distant E Palanisami link to this case, though the AIADMK supremo denies it. Chandrakanth Ramalingam, is an Erode-based businessman and is also currently lodged in the Parappana Agrahara jail in Bengaluru. How is he related to Palanisami? Ramalingam is related to Edappadi Palanisami’s son  Mithun Kumar. Mithun Kumar’s wife’s sister’s brother-in-law is Chandrakant Ramalingam.
