A Chennai court on Tuesday declined to grant bail to former DMK Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi, accused in the alleged cash-for-approvals scam involving private schools.
Judge, Special Court for cases under the Prevention of Corruption Act L S Sathiyamurthy, dismissed the Dravidian party leader's petition seeking bail.
After the Madras High Court dismissed the anticipatory bail application filed by Poyyamozhi, police arrested him on October 26, 2026.
The Madras High Court had dismissed Anbil's advance bail plea in the graft case against him, holding that he faces the accusation of having received money from school managements for "party fund" and its "final destination" cannot be unearthed unless he is interrogated under custody.
