Speaking to Times Now TV channel, Dinakaran alleged he was being victimised because he hails from an “under-privileged” section.

Dinakaran is currently facing a probe by a Judges Inquiry Committee headed by Supreme Court Justice Aftab Alam on the charges of corruption, land grabbing, possessing disproportionate assets and misbehaviour.

The probe was launched after a notice of motion for impeachment was initiated against Dinakaran by Rajya Sabha members.
