**COIMBATORE, January 29, 2025** – A special court in Coimbatore has sentenced a woman, G. Deena Gopalakrishnan, to one year of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of ₹10,000 for amassing disproportionate assets. The case, investigated by the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC), dates back to 2008 when Deena and her husband, N. Gopalakrishnan (deceased), were accused of accumulating ₹34,58,342 in assets – 70% more than their known income sources. While Gopalakrishnan, a former Assistant Inspector General in the Salem district Registration Department, passed away in 2021, the charges against him were abated last year. The court found Deena guilty under sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Prevention of Corruption Act. The case was handled by DVAC officials D. Shanmuga Priya and M.P. Dhivya, with Special Public Prosecutor S. Sivakumar representing the prosecution.
