The DMK government’s request for the Governor’s sanction to prosecute former AIADMK Ministers C. Vijayabaskar and B.V. Ramanaa in the gutkha case, investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), is under “legal examination”, the Raj Bhavan said on Thursday.
However, it claimed that the case against former Minister K.C. Veeramani “could not be acted upon due to the fact that the State government has to submit a duly authenticated copy of the investigation report for further action”.
The Raj Bhavan also maintained that it had received “no reference or request in respect of former Minister M.R. Vijaya Bhaskar from the State government”.
