The Enforcement Directorate has issued a fresh summons to Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader C. Vijayabaskar and his wife, V. Ramya, for questioning on November 6, 2026. The probe relates to an alleged disproportionate assets case of Rs 35.79 crore accumulated during his term as Tamil Nadu's Health Minister between 2016 and 2021.
The Enforcement Directorate has renewed its financial probe into C. Vijayabaskar, the former Health and Family Welfare Minister of Tamil Nadu. The agency has issued a fresh set of summons requiring both the politician and his wife, V. Ramya, to appear at its Chennai zonal office. Vijayabaskar is scheduled to attend the questioning on November 6, 2026, while his wife’s appearance is set for the following week.
The investigation centers on allegations of disproportionate assets totaling Rs 35.79 crore. These allegations date back to the period between 2016 and 2021, when Vijayabaskar served as a minister in the state government. The case originated from a probe by the state’s Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption in 2021. Federal investigators are now examining potential money laundering aspects related to these findings.
This is not the first time the politician has faced scrutiny from federal authorities. In March 2024, the Enforcement Directorate conducted searches at his residence in the Pudukkottai district to collect documents and evidence. He had previously appeared before the agency earlier that year to provide statements.
Currently, C. Vijayabaskar is the Pudukkottai district organizational secretary for the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, a party led by actor Joseph Vijay. He joined the party in July 2026, marking a significant transition after his previous political career with the AIADMK.
While this event is political and legal in nature and does not involve a publicly listed company, it remains a point of interest for observers monitoring the governance and political landscape in Tamil Nadu. The next steps for those tracking regional developments include monitoring the outcome of the scheduled November 6 hearing and any subsequent updates from the investigative agency regarding the status of the probe.
