K. Sundaram

K. Sundaram is an Indian politician and was a Member of the Legislative Assembly of Tamil Nadu. He was elected to the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly from Ponneri constituency as a Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam candidate in the 1989[1] and 1996 elections. The constituency was reserved for candidates from the Scheduled Castes.[2]

Sundaram — together with his wife and two brothers-in-law — was among several DMK legislators charged by Tamil Nadu Police in June 2005 of having assets disproportionate to their known income.[3] All charges were dismissed by the courts in 2015 due to lack of evidence.[4]
