COIMBATORE: A Special Court here on Monday allowed police to take the suspended Bharathiar University Vice-Chancellor, A. Ganapathy, into custody till February 16 for interrogation.
Directorate of Vigilance and Anti Corruption (DVAC) had arrested Ganapathy for demanding and accepting Rs.30 lakh from a Assistant Professor aspirant, including Rs. 1 lakh in chemically treated currency.
