On learning about the searches, a large number of supporters of Sarathkumar, who heads the All-India Samathuva Makkal Katchi, converged at his residence.
They started protesting against the I-T action even as Sarathkumar appealed to them to remain calm, mingling with them in the melee.
However, the agitated supporters remained unmoved, prompting the police to intervene and disperse them.
Later, flanked by his wife actress Radhika, Sarathkumar condemned the raid and said the I-T officials persisted in their demand to meet him even when he was having his bath.
