January 29, 2012 03:03 am | Updated October 18, 2016 01:05 pm IST - ERODE:

DMK functionary and former minister M.P. Saminathan and another party member Kanagaraj moved bail plea before the district sessions court here on Saturday.

The former minister and Mr. Kanagaraj were arrested in Tiruppur district in connection with a land grabbing case a few days ago. Both were produced before a court in Dharapuram, which remanded them to 15 days of judicial custody.

Sources said a lower court in Dharapuram turned down the bail plea moved by Mr. Saminathan earlier. As a result, the former minister moved a bail application in the district sessions court here.

The bail application was expected to come up for hearing in the next week, sources said.
