Court Reserves Orders on Police Custody of Former Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi
Former Tamil Nadu Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi was arrested on October 26 in a bribery case involving private school recognition. His counsel alleged police barged into his office for the arrest, which authorities denied. The Madras High Court granted police custody for interrogation, during which Poyyamozhi raised concerns about inhumane detention conditions and sought bail and medical care. A special court reserved orders on a police petition for extended custody, with investigations focusing on alleged proceeds and assets linked to the case.
