Two days after music director Ganagai Amaran's outburst against VK Sasikala for 'snatching' his property, a Chennai based anti-corruption activist group has submitted a complaint to the TN Director General of Police. Arappor Iyakkam, in its complaint, has accused VK Sasikala and her family members of usurping the government and private property.

In the complaint filed on 9 February, the group claims that the AIADMK General Secretary and her relatives have been involved in encroaching government land and ponds in Tamil Nadu for the last two decades.

The activist group demands that immediate action be taken against the 'law violators', an FIR be filed and the encroached land be recovered. The complaint particularly pertains to the Siruthavur, Payanoor and Karunkuzhipallam villages of Thiruporur and Kanchipuram. Around 112 acres of land in the area have allegedly been compounded by Sasikala and her relatives, with police providing round-the-clock security.

It becomes a great cause of concern for the people of Tamil Nadu that a person involved in grabbing of government lands, ponds and other private properties is at the verge of becoming Chief Minister... Despite several complaints of land grabbing, local police officials have just been hand-in-glove in the whole process and not acted on it
