Sasikala is now finally on her way to Bengaluru jail. After the theatrics at Jayalalithaa's memorial, where the AIADMK said she took a "mighty vow", she stopped at the MGR statue that she had unveiled at MGR Memorial Estate in Ramapuram, Chennai.


Sasikala, 61, asked the Supreme Court today if, because of her health, she could be allowed some time to present herself in Bengaluru for imprisonment. "Do you know what immediately means?" the judges responded, highlighting that they had made their decision clear in yesterday's verdict.


After the court turned down her request for more time, Sasikala, who was at her Poes Garden residence, left in a convoy of 25 vehicles for Bengaluru jail. On the way she stopped at Jayalalithaa's memorial at Marina Beach and after praying for a few seconds, took a "mighty vow". The AIADMK tweeted:  Conspiracy, betrayal, crisis... I'll emerge victorious from them, AIADMK's general secretary Honorable Chinamma vowed."

On to the Bengaluru jail now. This is the same jail where she was imprisoned with Jaya in 2014 before they were acquitted.
