Boopalan, a TVK functionary from Nagapattinam. During a search conducted at his house, methamphetamine worth Rs. 135 crore was seized.
It appears that Boopalan had hidden this drug in his house for smuggling it to Sri Lanka.
He was arrested yesterday (October 16) by officers of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence.
It is noteworthy that TVK leadership expelled him from the party yesterday.
Regarding the seizure of methamphetamine at Boopalan’s house, DMK leader Stalin said, “TVK = Bad Party, not only that, Breaking Bad Party

Drug 'Hiding'
Bhoopalan, the Nagapattinam district TVK administrator and the election in-charge for the Kilvelur assembly constituency, has been arrested by DRI officials of the Union government.
The preliminary investigation has revealed that while the Chief Minister has been lecturing at every platform about drug ‘eradication,’ he mistakenly understood it as drug ‘concealment’ and hid 135 kg of methamphetamine; that is the crime he has committed.
He was caught red-handed at the peak of his career.
The entire network must be surrounded and brought down!
Was the TVK leader preaching to the public while keeping the biggest drug mafia within his own party?
If such a large quantity of drugs has been seized in a single raid, then it must be determined how many more people are behind them, and the entire network must be surrounded and brought down.
TVK = Not just a Bad Party, but a Breaking Bad Party TVK district secretary for Nagapattinam district and election in-charge for the Kilvelur Assembly constituency, Bhoopalan, has been arrested by DRI officials of the Union government. In his speeches from stage after stage, the Chief Minister has been lecturing about drug 'eradication'; mistaking it for drug 'concealment,' he had hidden 135 kg of methamphetamine narcotics—that is the crime he committed, according to the preliminary investigation. He was caught red-handed at the peak of his career as a carrier. Was the TVK leader preaching to the public while keeping the biggest drug mafia within his own party? If such a large quantity of drugs has been seized in a single raid, then the entire network must be surrounded by finding out how many more people are behind them. Instead of counting communists through the tahsildar, first count how many Leo Dases and Powder Saraths like this are in TVK from district to district. TVK, which had earned the name of a Bad Party within just five months of coming to power, has now been promoted to a Breaking Bad Party. "Are you scared? It will only get more terrifying as time goes on," the Chief Minister should refrain from delivering punch dialogues for this too.

Leo Dases and Powder Saraths!
Instead of counting communists through the tahsildar, first count how many Leo Dases and Powder Saraths like this are in the T.V.K., district by district.
In just five months after coming to power, the T.V.K., which had earned the name “Bad Party,” has now been promoted to the next level as the “Breaking Bad Party.”
“Are you scared? It will get even scarier as time goes on,” he posted on his X page, saying that the Chief Minister should not be delivering punch dialogues for this too.
