ED links Sadiq firm to contractor for TN schools

An expelled DMK leader, Sadiq is set to face trial for trafficking controlled substances such as pseudoephedrine and ketamine to Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia and amassing huge wealth through it.

ED filed a chargesheet against Sadiq and 11 others including his brother Saleem and other associates before a special court in Chennai recently.

Sources said that Coalescence Ventures, a partnership firm of Sadiq established in December 2020 with his business partner S Ramesh, procured goods from Matrix, a Noida-based company and sold it to Sri Appu Direct, a Cuddalore-based contractor of TN Textbook Corporation.
