Delhi police had issued a lookout notice against Dinakaran on Tuesday and on Thursday, they served a notice asking him to join the probe.
Earlier, the police had arrested Sukesh Chandrashekhar and sent him to custody for allegedly striking a deal of Rs. 50 crore with Dinakaran to help the AIADMK Amma faction keep the 'Two Leaves' poll symbol.
Reportedly, the Crime Branch recovered Rs 1.3 crore approximately, two luxury cars, a BMW and a Mercedes from Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
Chandrasekhar was arrested from the Hyatt hotel and was produced at the residence of Special Judge Poonam Chaudhry, who allowed the Delhi Police's plea to interrogate the accused for eight days. Dinakaran was also named as an accused in the FIR, filed by the Delhi Police Crime Branch.
Dinakaran's faction contested on the hat symbol for the R.K. Nagar assembly by-polls, after the Election Commission froze their two leaves symbol while acknowledging the split in the party. The polling was later cancelled by the Election Commission.
