Sasikala unlikely to surrender today

February 14, 2017 17:00

Hours after the Supreme Court upheld the trial court verdict that sentenced VK Sasikala to a four-year jail term, she may not surrender today. Reports say her lawyers are trying to buy time saying they haven't received a copy of the court order yet, which says she has to surrender immediately.

Earlier in the day, the AIADMK general secretary expelled 20 other leaders including caretaker Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam from the party.

A group of MLAs from her team are now on their way to meet Governor Vidyasagar Rao at 5:30 pm. The governor asked a 12-member delegation to meet him today.
