Video footage that shows AIADMK interim general secretary V.K. Sasikala and her relative Ilavarasi, convicted by the Supreme Court in the disproportionate assets case, walking into the main entry area of the Parappana Agrahara Central Prison in Bengaluru in civilian clothes, has been given to the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Karnataka police.

 

Former DIG of Prisons D. Roopa, who blew the lid off the special treatment meted out to prisoners including Sasikala, on Saturday submitted the footage taken from the CCTV recording of the central prison complex, as part of her statement to the ACB. The fresh evidence raises suspicion on whether the two convicts went out of the prison in connivance with top prison officials.
