Former Tamil Nadu Agriculture Minister Agri S. S. Krishnamoorthy has been arrested in connection with the suicide of senior engineer S. Muthukumarasamy.
As per reports, he was arrested by the Tamil Nadu Crime Branch-CID after several hours of questioning.
DMK leader TKS Elangovan, however, called for a CBI probe into the matter, saying the CBCID has failed time and again to investigate many cases.
"CBCID has failed time and again to investigate many cases. They might have arrested him but the real facts will only come out if CBI investigates the case," said Elangovan.
Muthukumarasamy had killed himself by jumping in front of a train. He was reportedly under pressure to hire drivers.
