Chennai: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached assets worth over Rs 11 crore of a history-sheeter in Chennai under charges of money laundering.
The attached eight immovable assets of K Ravi, with a total value of Rs 11.68 crore, comprise various land pieces and residential buildings in and around Chennai.
The agency, in an official statement, said its investigation shows that Ravi's legal earnings were found to be "nominal" and he purchased several properties in his and his minor sons' name with the proceeds of crime.
An attachment action under anti-money laundering laws is aimed at depriving the accused from taking benefits from the assets obtained through alleged illegal acts.
Kathiravan was acquitted in the 2004 murder case of Sankararaman, the manager of the Varadarajaperumal Temple at Kancheepuram.
