In June 2008, an aged couple claimed that NKKP Raja called them over phone and asked them to register their 10acres land in favour of his men. They alleged that Raja and others had a role in their abduction in connection with a property claim. They also filed a memo apprehending danger to their lives as well as those of their grandchildren.[3] In August 2008, he was dropped from the state cabinet.[4] In October 2009, he was involved in a violent altercation with Sivabalan, the couple's son. Both Raja and Sivabalan were admitted to hospitals with injuries which both of them allege were caused by the other and police registered cases against them.[5] On 26 October 2009, he was expelled from the primary membership of the DMK.[6]
