About 25 premises are being covered by the Central agency as part of the two cases, the sources said.

Vijayabaskar, a former Health Minister, is an AIADMK strongman from Pudukottai in Tamil Nadu. The searches against him are based on a state vigilance (DVAC) investigation of 2022 linked to an alleged case of possession of disproportionate assets, they said.

He was earlier booked by the CBI in a “gutkha scam”.
