The Tamil Nadu police’s cyber wing has launched a manhunt for Mathew Samuel, former managing editor of Tehelka who alleged Chief Minister Edappadi K Palanisami is behind the five murders that happened at Jayalalitha’s Kodanad estate.

Mathew Samuel recently made a video with KV Sayan and Valayar Manoj, accused in the Kodanad murder case and alleged that Chief Minister Edappadi K Palanisami is the man behind series of murders at the estate. In a recent Facebook post, Mathew Samuel wrote, “Some of my media friends in Chennai and Delhi informed me that the Tamilnadu police has landed in Delhi to arrest me. They are to search my home and to arrest KV Sayan and Valayar Manoj also.



The chief minister of Tamilnadu- Palani Swami had filed a defamation case against me to Chennai police regarding my news break of him behind the mysterious 5 murders associated with Kodanad estate. It is first time in Indian history that any Chief minister is directly accused to be involved behind 5 brutally executed cold blood murders.

Now at this context, I make my stand very clear that Edapaadi Palani Swamy is the one who behind all these serirs (Series) of murder. 

By Mathew Samuel”
