The chargesheet was filed based on a case booked against the two under different sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, earlier. The charge against Mr. Vijayabaskar is that he, along with his wife, had amassed wealth in their names and that of their family members in the form of movable and immovable properties to the tune of ₹35.79 crore, disproportionate to their known sources of income.
A DVAC team of the Pudukottai unit led by Deputy Superintendent of Police G. Imayavarman filed the 210-page chargesheet along with supporting documents before the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court in Pudukottai .
The chargesheet against Mr. Vijayabaskar has come over a year and a half after the disproportionate case was filed against him. At that point, simultaneous searches were made at the houses of the former Minister and his relatives in Pudukottai and in other places in the State.
DVAC sources said the check period taken in connection with the disproportionate assets case was from April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2021 when Mr. Vijayabaskar was a Minister in the previous AIADMK government. During the course of the investigation, checks were conducted at 56 places, all over the State and documents pertaining to the case were seized.
About 800 supporting documents running into about 10,000 pages were submitted along with the chargesheet before the court, said the sources.
