A number of complainants have previously accused Ashok Kumar of accepting money in exchange for jobs, as per sources.
Earlier on Tuesday, Tamil Nadu Electricity Minister V Senthil Balaji was detained in a money laundering case after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids on locations connected to him.
