Former Chief Engineer of the Public Works Department (PWD) C. Anandane, who was convicted by a Special CBI Court in a disproportionate assets case, surrendered before the court here on Tuesday after his bail was rejected by the Madras High Court.

Remanded in custody

Special Judge for CBI cases P. Dhanabal remanded him to judicial custody in the Kalapet Central Prison.

It may be recalled that the Anti Corruption Branch of CBI, Chennai, registered a case against Mr. Anandane, his wife Vijayalakshmi and son Ashok Anand for accumulating assets to the tune of Rs. 3.75 crore during the period from January 1, 1997, to January 7, 2006, disproportionate to their known sources of income.

The Special Judge for CBI cases, P. Dhanabal, on October 30 convicted Anandane and his son Ashok Anand, a MLA, to one-year Rigorous Imprisonment and slapped a fine of Rs. 1 lakh on each of them.
