Madras High Court has rejected the anticipatory (pre‑arrest) bail plea of KV Kuppam MLA M. Jaganmoorthy, accused in the kidnapping of a 16‑year‑old boy from Kelambakkam on June 7. The court, citing the government’s characterization of him as the “mastermind” behind the incident and his uncooperative behavior—including a crowd of around 300 at a court appearance—held that custodial interrogation is essential for a fair investigation .
