Kathir Anand  

Though DMK’s victory in Vellore seemed to further stamp authority in Lok Sabha elections held in Tamil Nadu, the win margin compared to that of other constituencies won in April serves a warning sign for the MK Stalin-led party  

The counting of votes for Vellore Lok Sabha constituency was held today (August 9). The election happened on August 5. DMK's DM Kathir Anand won

The Vellore Lok Sabha constituency went to polls on August 5 after it was cancelled following tax raids and cash seizures in April

By cancelling the election in Vellore, the Election Commission has put the other candidates in a strange fix — they are happy that DMK's Kathir Anand is exposed. But they are unhappy that they have to spend money on the elections again.

The money seized from places connected to Durai Murugan's son Kathir Anand, it is said, was meant for distribution to the voters in Vellore. The currencies, most of them in crisp bundles of Rs 200 notes, were all methodically packed in gunny sacks and boxes, with names of the wards and streets that they were meant to be distributed in the constituency of Vellore
