Sasikala files review petition in SC against her conviction

May 03, 2017 23:09

Former All India Anna Dravida Munneta Kazhagam general secretary V.K. Sasikala has filed a review petition against her conviction in the Supreme Court.

Sasikala had suffered a major jolt with the apex court upholding the trial court's judgment convicting her in the 21-year-old disproportionate assets case against her. With this, Sasikala stood disqualified to take over as Tamil Nadu chief minister after late J Jayalalithaa's demise.

The Karnataka government had challenged the state high court verdict acquitting Jayalalithaa, Sasikala and her two relatives - VN Sudhakaran and Elavarasi - for allegedly amassing disproportionate assets to the tune of Rs 66.65 crore during her first term as the chief minister from 1991 to 1996.

This development comes amid an enraging power struggle between the two warring factions of the AIADMK - one led by former chief minister O Panneerselvam and current Chief Minister E Palaniswamy
