CBI team in city to probe gutka scam
Chennai: 23.06.2018
Officials from the New Delhi branch of CBI investigating the gutka scam visited Chennai on Friday to collect names of food safety and central excise officials who were working in these departments during the 2015-16 period when the scam allegedly took place.
Sources said the officials visited the food safety office in DMS and also the Central Excise office in Rajaji Bhavan.
The probe was transferred to CBI from the DVAC last month after an order by the Madras high court.
Currently, the FIR accuses only unknown state government officials.
Sources said the central agency has asked income tax department to share details on documents seized during the searches as well as the letter written to the then chief secretary about involvement of officials and politicians including the health minister C Vijayabaskar.
CBI sources said the agency is likely to question Vijayabaskar regarding the case.
