A special team from Tamil Nadu’s CB-CID has been dispatched to northern states in pursuit of former AIADMK Transport Minister M.R. Vijayabhaskar, linked to a land grabbing case in Karur. The case, initiated by the Karur town police, involves allegations of forged documents used to register a plot of land, valued over ₹100 crore. Despite a dismissed anticipatory bail plea on June 25, 2024, Vijayabhaskar has reportedly gone into hiding, prompting a search effort by authorities. The investigation has been transferred to CB-CID following initial inquiries at Karur Taluk police station.
