Ex-TN Minister Questions Why Bribe-Taking School Owners Not Accused in Rs 100 Cr Case

TOI - Delhi · india

Former Tamil Nadu school education minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi has questioned the Chennai police's decision not to arrest or name private school owners as accused in a Rs 100 crore cheating case. Poyyamozhi's lawyer argued that those who allegedly paid bribes are at large, while the former minister faces custodial interrogation. The defense highlighted that the 20-year recognition system was a collective government decision, not solely the minister's responsibility. The prosecution countered that new evidence necessitates further interrogation, opposing bail. The court has deferred its decision on the bail application.
