Tamil actress Kayadu Lohar, who became a known face after her performance in the film Dragon, is now embroiled in a controversy.

According to reports, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has found connections between the actress and the ongoing Tasmac scam, which is under its scanner.

According to a report in Mid-Day, Kayadu has purportedly been given Rs 35 lakh by a group of people related to the tainted firm that is part of the scam.

Hailing from Tezpur, Assam, Kayadu Lohar is a Commerce graduate, who rose to fame after participating in beauty contests and making her screen debut.
