Senthil Balaji resigns as Tamil Nadu minister 8 months after arrest

DMK leader V Senthil Balaji resigned as Tamil Nadu minister on Monday, eight months after being arrested by Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case linked to an alleged cash-for-jobs scam. This comes after his bail pleas were repeatedly rejected. Earlier, Madras High Court questioned how Balaji could continue as minister despite being in jail for over 230 days.
