4. Vaikundarajan himself is media
shy and is known to maintain a
low-key profile. Perhaps that is
one of the reasons why his
photos are not easily available
on public domain.

5. In last few years, VV Mineral Vaikundarajan and his company
have been under serious scrutiny. From being accused of
illegal sand mining to having powerful political influence,
several allegations have surfaced without supporting
evidence. Naturally, Vaikundarajan has denied all the
allegations against him and deemed them as a ploy by rival
businesses to defame his company.

6. Two civil servants, IAS Ashwin Kumar and ex-IAS V Sundaram
have been forthright in these allegations. In one of the letters
sent by Sundaram, he accuses Vaikundarajan of looting Rs.
96,000 crore.

7. Following these claims, the state government has set up an
investigating committee. As of today, there is no concrete
evidence to suggest any illegal activities on VV Mineral’s part.

8. VV Mineral Vaikundarajan runs his company out of
Tisayanvilai, a town 65 km from Tirunelveli city in south Tamil
Nadu. Locals know him as a man of simple taste who wears
a white shirt and dhoti. It is a public knowledge that
Vaikundarajan owns shares in Mavis Satcom that has stakes
in Jaya TV. He also has stocks in Tamil Nadu Mercantile
Bank (TMB). This knowledge has been used unjustly by
miscreants to pressurize Vaikundarajan.

9. The National Green Tribunal has suspended sand mining
activities in coastal areas. VV Mineral Vaikundarajan stays
optimistic and states that his enterprise will soon walk clean.
