Actress Kayadu Lohar Caught in TASMAC Scam Whirlwind, ED Investigates ₹35 Lakh Payment Trail

Actress Kayadu Lohar, who earned widespread attention for her role in the 2025 fantasy-action blockbuster Dragon, is now at the center of a swirling controversy involving one of Tamil Nadu’s most explosive corruption cases—the ₹1000 crore TASMAC liquor scam.

According to Enforcement Directorate (ED) sources, Lohar allegedly received a payment of ₹35 lakh from individuals directly tied to the scandal. These transactions reportedly funded her appearances at luxury night parties hosted by those under financial scrutiny. Authorities suspect these gatherings were more than just social affairs—they may have doubled as fronts for laundering illicit funds and buying influence.

In a recent sweep of Tamil Nadu, ED raids unearthed financial documents hinting at celebrity ties to scam-related finances. Lohar’s name reportedly surfaced during interrogations of key suspects. While she hasn’t yet been summoned or officially charged, her monetary dealings are being carefully examined.

Lohar, a rising star originally from Tezpur, Assam, has built a dynamic career across Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu, and Marathi cinema. Her breakout moment came with Dragon, and she’s now gearing up for STR49 alongside Silambarasan. However, this investigation may cast a long shadow over her promising career trajectory.

The TASMAC scam—a deep-rooted scandal involving state-run liquor contracts, inflated invoices, and kickbacks—has already rocked Tamil Nadu’s political and bureaucratic elite. Now, with Lohar’s name in the mix, the entertainment world isn’t far behind.

Although Kayadu Lohar and her legal team have yet to make a public statement, speculation is rife across media and social platforms. Fans are calling for clarity, while critics demand accountability. As the ED widens its net, more shocking revelations may be on the horizon.
