Chennai, Sep 09, 2017 :  Former environment minister Jayanthi Natarajan has been named in a corruption case and her premises in Chennai raided by the Central Bureau of Investigation today. Sources said the CBI had been inquiring into three complaints that she abused her official position during her stint as the environment minister in the previous UPA regime.

 

The 63-year-old was environment minister from July 2011 to December 2013 in the UPA-2 government.

She quit the Congress in January 2015 with a scathing attack on party vice president Rahul Gandhi who she alleged, first instructed her to protect the environment and later publicly criticised her decisions ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

More details are awaited.
