But Veeramani claimed to have registered it for Rs 3.76 lakh.
Notes relating to all family members must be examined, said Arappor.

Responding to the accusation, Veeramani told Ti complaints because he was jealousy and that he was not a poor person when he entered politics.
“I come from a very rich business family.
I used to travel in a top-class car even in 1970.
Our family was involved in the beedi, transportation, hotel and other business industries.

Veeramani accepted that the details provided by Arapping came from information from the election.
“But I haven’t lied in the statement.
All accounts have been audited correctly and the tax has been paid,” he said.
