PUDUCHERRY /VILLUPURAM: Sacked Education minister PML Kalyanasundaram, on Saturday, appeared before the Villupuram district crime branch (DCB)police for investigations in the case where he was charged with using a proxy to write his SSLC supplementary examinations at a private school in Tindivanam on September 29.He arrived at Villupuram SP office at 10.55 am where his car was stopped at the entrance itself, after which he and his lawyers walked to the office building.He gave a specimen signature and a class X textbook was given to him to write some excerpts. Sources said that this would be used as sample to examine his handwriting. He also answered around 300 questions posed by investigating officer, inspector Sankar and DSP Pandiyan. The questions ranged from details about his personnel life to political life and most importantly his relationship with the two co-accused in the case, hall supervisor P Aadhavan and office assistant M Rajnikanth. The four-and-a-half-hour hearing session finally ended at 3.30 pm.The minister who had so far been avoiding the police finally cooperated after the Supreme Court granted him anticipatory bail on the condition that he appear before the DCB on December 3 and subsequently every Monday from 10.30 to 11.30 a m till the inquiry was completed. Meanwhile, the hearing on a case filed by the DCB before the judicial magistrate seeking a direction to Kalyanasundaram to cooperate with the inquiry which is coming up on December 16 would have no significance after the former minister’s appearance before DCB.
