Tamil Nadu: Governor RN Ravi Grants Sanction To Prosecute Former AIADMK Ministers C Vijayabaskar And BV Ramanaa
Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi.
Governor RN Ravi has accorded sanction to prosecute two former All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) ministers, C Vijayabaskar and BV Ramanaa. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had registered cases against them in connection with the Gutkha scam.
According to a report by The Hindu, the CBI's request for sanctioning prosecution was sent in September 2022 and sanction was granted on 13 November. It stated that the information was obtained from a note submitted by the Union Home Ministry to the Supreme Court.
Regarding the request to prosecute former AIADMK minister KC Veeramani in a case filed by the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC), it stated that the file had been received back on 18 November after being returned on 15 November saying that it did not contain the authenticated probe report.
In the case of MR Vijayabhaskar, it mentioned that the file was under consideration.
The files regarding the cases against Veeramani and MR Vijayabhaskar had come under scrutiny in July 2023 because the state government claimed to have sent all the files but the Raj Bhavan said that it had not received an authenticated investigation report in the case of Veeramani and that it had not received any communication regarding Vijayabhaskar.
