19 visitors in 31 days: The one privilege Sasikala gets in jail

April 05, 2017 19:10

According to an RTI activist, VK Sasikala is meeting a number of people who are coming to visit her in jail, even though the rule only allows two visitors a month -- which includes advocates, friends and family.

Moreover, while visitors are allowed to meet prisoners only between 11 am to 5 pm, some of Sasikala's visitors met her even after 5 pm.

The activist, Narsimha Murthy, has claimed that in 31 days, 19 visitors have met Sasikala -- the total number of visits is 14. Apart from her advocates, the list named senior AIADMK leaders -- including Deputy Speaker Thambidorai and her nephew TTV Dinakaran, who is also the candidate for the coming by-election in Chennai's RK Nagar constituency. Dinakaran, in fact, met her twice.

On February 15, VK Sasikala entered the Parappana Agrahara Central Jail in Bengaluru to serve her four-year sentence in a corruption case.
