Tamil Nadu Leader of Opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami told reporters in New Delhi that since the matter involved state Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan (PTR), "the issue cannot be ignored," and has to be probed since PTR insists that they are fabricated audio tapes.

Stepping up pressure on the DMK-led government, Palaniswami, popularly called EPS, said that during the meeting, he had requested Shah to hold a detailed probe into allegations of corruption by DMK's "first family".

Tamil Nadu minister has denied allegations made by state BJP chief citing leaked clips.

Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai on Tuesday released an audio clip that allegedly features the voice of state Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan. The man in the clip can be heard accusing Chief Minister MK Stalin's family of corruption.

Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan “strongly denied” that it was his voice in a second audio clip leaked online on April 26.

In his tweet, releasing the audio, Annamalai wrote, “Listen to the DMK ecosystem crumbling from within. The 2nd tape of TN State FM Thiru @ptrmadurai. Special Thanks to TN FM for drawing a proper distinction between DMK & BJP! #DMKFiles”.

The I-T sleuths began their search operation at multiple G Square offices in Chennai, Coimbatore, Tiruchirapalli, Hosur and other locations, with police deployment outside.

The BJP has accused top Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) leaders of helping the real estate company grow in the state. 

The raids are being conducted in more than 50 places linked to G Square realtors, as per the reports.

Taking to Twitter, TN BJP chief K Annamalai said, "Leaders of Tamil Nadu BJP met the Governor of TN RN Ravi today requesting an enquiry to be ordered in the audio tape of the State Finance Minister mentioning that the DMK 1st family made Rs30,000 crores in a year through corrupt means."
