The former Vice Chancellor of Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University P. Vanangamudi moved the Madras High Court seeking anticipatory bail in connection with a corruption case filed against him by the Department of Vigilance and Anti Corruption.
In his petition, Mr. Vanangamudi submitted that the case was filed against him based on a complaint that was “a fabled fact that was concocted to the core”. He submitted that he was being fixed by his rivals with an ulterior motive and the complaint was filed only to harass him.
Mr. Vanangamudi said he had a track record of producing the best lawyers in the country, and was in service for 33 years without any blemish, adding that a false complaint was lodged at the instigation of his adversaries.
“The FIR and the alleged offences lack prima facie materials to draw any nexus between the evidence collected and annexed by the prosecution to show that he has indulged in such activities,” the petition said.
