DMK Member of Parliament Constantine Ravindran on Tuesday claimed that the arrest in the 'Gem Granites' case was executed following a specific court direction, contradicting any suggestion of proactive government intervention. Ravindran alleged that the state government, under the current administration, had sought to suppress the matter on multiple occasions, arguing there was insufficient prima facie evidence to warrant action. The MP's statement suggests a pattern of resistance from the government side before judicial intervention became necessary. The claim underscores tensions within the state's political establishment regarding the handling of the high-profile case. The exact nature of the allegations and charges in the 'Gem Granites' matter remain a subject of ongoing legal proceedings.
