The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in a coordinated raid at around 40 locations across Tamil Nadu, on Wednesday, carried out searches at the residences of state’s health minister and the director general of police, in connection with a multi-crore Gutka scam case. However, police did not reveal the exact locations of the raids, saying it may hamper the ongoing investigation process into the case.

Health Minister C Vijayabaskar, DGP TK Rajendran, and a former senior police officer are among the people, raided by the CBI in the gutka scam involving bribes given at the top to skirt a ban on chewing tobacco. Besides that, the residences of several food-safety department officials are being searched in connection to the same.
