Chennai, March 21 - Officials of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) are carrying out a search at the residence of M. K. Stalin, son of DMK chief M. K. Karunanidhi, Thursday.

Curiously, the search comes two days after the DMK announced its decision to pull out of the central government and the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA), dissatisfied with the centre's stand on the Sri Lankan Tamils issue.

The raid at Stalin's house began around 6 a. m.. CBI officials here are tightlipped about the details of the case. (IANS)
