DMK Ex-Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi Arrested in Corruption Case

Chennai Police arrested former Tamil Nadu School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi in connection with an alleged Rs 100-crore bribery case involving private school licenses.

The investigation identified 177 schools purportedly affected by the scheme, with police citing evidence from digital devices and recorded statements to justify the arrest.

The Madras High Court dismissed the minister's anticipatory bail plea on Monday, while DMK leader MK Stalin condemned the arrest as politically motivated targeting.
