Andimuthu Raja the 47 year old Indian former cabinet minister from the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) political party Criminal misconduct to benefit others (February 7 2011)

Andimuthu Raja the 47 year old Indian former cabinet minister from the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) political party has been arrested by Indian Police relating to a corruption scandal alleged to have been perpetrated while he was the Telecoms Minister. Raja had been dismissed from the ministerial position three months earlier as a result of allegations he had misused his ministerial office in criminal misconduct to benefit others. Raja is accused of selling licenses at below market value with potential losses in revenue to the Indian government of almost $40billion.  A scandal that appears to now embroil the Indian Prime Minister for failing to act when the allegations were first aired.
