‘Chinnamma’ Sasikala and her sister-in-law Ilavarasi on Friday appeared before an Anti-Corruption Bureau court in Bengaluru in connection to the alleged preferential treatment she enjoyed in prison.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau in 2018 alleged that the ex-AIADMK general secretary and her kin enjoyed preferential treatment while imprisoned in Bengaluru jail. She and Ilavarasi have now been granted bail by the same court.
In 2018, an FIR was filed by ACB into the alleged preferential treatment to Sasikala and her sister-in-law Ilavarasi and tasked retired IAS officer Vinay Kumar to probe into it. Reportedly, the Anti Corruption Bureau conducted raids at the official residence of Krishna Kumar, the superintendent of police at Hindalga prison. With no progress on the report, a PIL was filed in Karnataka High Court seeking its findings. The HC demanded the ACB to submit the details in a sealed cover by August 25, 2021
