Tamil Nadu Minister V Senthil Balaji broke down while being taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials for questioning in connection with an alleged money laundering case in the wee hours of Wednesday.
The investigating agency took the DMK leader for questioning, after raiding his premises on Tuesday.
Soon after this, the ED brought Balaji to Omandurar government hospital in Chennai for medical examination amid tight security in the wee hours of Wednesday.
High drama was witnessed outside the hospital as the DMK leader was brought to the hospital. He could be seen crying in pain while lying in a car as his supporters gathered there to protest against the ED action.
