IT raids in Tamil Nadu Health Minister's residence and 34 other places
The Indian Express quoted sources as saying that searches are still on.
Among the 35 locations where searches are being conducted, 23 places are in Chennai.
The minister's residence on Greenways Road, and at his native Pudukkottai, and also a quarry were among the premises that have come under the taxmen's lens, the report said.
A team of about 50 I-T personnel landed at Rasi Blue Metals quarry at Thiruvenkaivasal near Pudukkottai, surprising all including staff and public.
Simultaneously, another team landed at Vijaya Baker's house at Sourashtra Street in Iluppur.
The I-T sleuths are also searching the residence of Dr S Geethalakshmi, the vice-chancellor of Tamil Nadu, Dr MGR Medical University.
Geetalakshmi had received the Dr BC Roy award, the most prestigious award for a medical professional in the country, from the President only a few days ago.
Similar raids are on at the residences of AISMK leader, actor Sarathkumar and AIADMK man 'Chitlapakkam' Rajendran's, sources told Express.
