Video suggests Sasikala allowed to leave B'lore jail; Ex-DIG D Roopa hopes for thorough probe



Bengaluru: Her fate in the AIADMK hangs in the balance with the O Panneerselvam and E Palaniswami factions within touching distance of a merger deal. And now, there is another trouble brewing for VK Sasikala with a fresh video showing her free run in a Bengaluru jail where she is serving time in a corruption case.

A new CCTV footage has emerged which purportedly shows Sasikala walking into the jail from outside in civilian clothes and holding a bag in the presence of uniformed men. Co-convict Ilavarasi is also purportedly seen walking behind her.

The footage has once again raised questions over the alleged VIP treatment to Sasikala, who may be sacked from the AIADMK on Monday with the party’s merger.

The footage has been submitted by former Bengaluru DIG (Prisons) D Roopa as part of investigation into her earlier report which had exposed the special privileges extended to Sasikala at the Parappana Agrahara Central Jail in Bengaluru.
