The Chief Minister Palaniswami camp, however, blamed the Sasikala family for the raids.
I-T sleuths conducted searches in the office block of the Poes Garden residence of Jayalalithaa, 'Veda Nilayam'.
Following inputs, a search operation was launched in the office block and a room used by jailed and deposed AIADMK leader V K Sasikala.
Dhinakaran alleged that there was a conspiracy to squeeze out his family from politics and slammed his rival, Chief Minister Palaniswami, for not opposing the raids.

"They said the house would be made a memorial, but not one minister came to the spot. They are not voicing out their opinion against the raid due to selfish motives and out of fear," he alleged.
"I believe there is a conspiracy today after Amma's death (against his family)," Dhinakaran said.
State Fisheries Minister D Jayakumar also regretted that I-T raids conducted at Veda Nilayam and blamed the Sasikala family for the same.
"After Amma's (Jayalalithaa) death, those with Sasikala and Dhinakaran were staying at Amma's house. The family members of these two are responsible for the raids," he said.
"This property was earned by Amma by her blood and sweat (as an actor in the) film industry. This raid is being carried out to defame Amma and was done with the cooperation of the family of Sasikala," she said.
This is why Sasikala's nephew and Jaya TV CEO, Vivek Jayaraman, was present at Veda Nilayam during the searches, she alleged.
Taxmen had yesterday searched the room of Poongundran, who served as an aide of the late chief minister, records room and other room used by Sasikala. The seizure included a laptop.
