Former Tamil Nadu minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi was remanded to judicial custody until November 6 after being produced before a special court in connection with a corruption case on Monday night.
He was brought before the Special Court dealing with cases under the Prevention of Corruption Act at around 10.10 pm, following a medical examination at a government hospital.
The case relates to allegations that money was collected from private school managements by promising government recognition and various statutory clearances. Poyyamozhi was arrested on Monday evening after the Madras High Court rejected his anticipatory bail plea.
After hearing submissions from defence counsel Wilson and Saravanan and Public Prosecutor John Sathyan, Judge L S Sathiyamurthy ordered that the former minister remain in judicial custody until November 6.
The case concerns alleged irregularities involving approvals and recognition sought by private educational institutions.
