TIRUCHY: The Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) sleuths on Saturday conducted searches in the house of an executive engineer at the Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board (TWAD) on charges of amassing wealth.

Acting on a complaint against the official, Nataraj, a team led by DSP Manikandan, searched his house on Musiri bypass road and a petrol bunk, reportedly owned by him, located on Musiri-Thuraiyur highway a few months ago.
