In a petition submitted to the one-man Commission of Enquiry set up to probe the death of former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) medical wing office-bearer and Thiruparankundram DMK candidate Saravanan has raised doubts about her thumb impression affixed on the election form submitted as part of the bypoll.

After submitting his petition, Dr. Saravanan told reporters that from the day she was admitted, there were plenty of contradictions in the hospital bulletins. Under such circumstances, the claims that she had affixed her thumb impression and that she was aware about the happenings were not acceptable since it had not been duly attested, he pointed in his report.
