Custodial interrogation ordered

STAFF REPORTER

A CBI Special Court on Thursday ordered custodial interrogation of S. Murukesan, member, Dental Council of India (DCI), and three others who were arrested in connection with a scam in granting approval to postgraduate courses.

On Tuesday, the CBI arrested Dr Murukesan, K. Ramabadran, R. Karunanidhi, administrators of Adhiparasakthi Dental College and Hospital, Melmaruvattur, and T. Palani, former MLA.

The allegation against the DCI member was that he had demanded a bribe of Rs.1 crore and accepted Rs.25 lakh for the DCI approval to postgraduate courses.

After hearing the submissions of both sides, T. Ravindran, Judge, Additional Special Court for CBI cases, granted the investigating agency four-day custody of the accused. The judge also specified certain conditions to be observed by CBI during the period of interrogation.
