The father-in-law of Tamil Nadu Health Minister C Vijayabaskar was today sentenced to three years in jail by a court here in a 16-year-old forgery-cum- cheating case.
Judicial Magistrate V P Velusamy ordered Vijayabaskar's farther-in-law Sundaram and his brother Dhanapalan to undergo three years jail term after convicting of cheating.
The court also imposed a fine of Rs 20,000 each on them.
The court held Sundaram and Dhanapalan guilty of forging documents of a commercial complex, thereby cheating their another brother Duraisamy.
The prosecution case was that the two had got the name of Duraisamy deleted from the property document of the complex using forged papers.
On a complaint from Duraisamy, police registered a case in 2001 against Sundaram and Dhanapalan.
Vijayabaskar last month had come under the Income Tax scanner for alleged tax evasion.
