Former Minister MR Vijayabhaskar was arrested from Kerala in connection with a land grab case on Tuesday. The case pertains to the illegal registration of 22 acres of land in Karur, belonging to a person named Prakash, using forged documents.
After being on the run for several days, Vijayabhaskar was apprehended in Kerala. Earlier, his bail petitions had been rejected twice by courts prior to his arrest. The Criminal Investigation Department (CB-CID) police had formed five special teams to track and apprehend him, according to a report on ABP Nadu.
During the operation, Vijayabhaskar and his cousin Praveen were surrounded and arrested by the police. Currently, steps are being taken to bring them back to Tamil Nadu for further investigation, as per the report.
On May 11, Prakash, a businessman based in Karur, filed a complaint, accusing a former minister and seven others of illegally encroaching upon a property covering 22 acres valued at Rs 100 crore, using forged documents. Subsequently, the Karur town police registered a case against the seven persons in June.
Meanwhile, MR Vijayabhaskar served as the Transport Minister during the AIADMK regime.
