Disproportionate Assets Case Late Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalithaa's former aide Sasikala released from jail
Bengaluru/IBNS: Late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's former aide VK Sasikala, who was imprisoned in a corruption case, was released from a Bengaluru jail on Wednesday, media reports said.
Sasikala, a former AIADMK leader, will, however, remain in hospital as she is battling Covid-19.
After testing positive for the virus on Jan 20, she was admitted to Bengaluru's Bowring hospital and was later shifted to Victoria hospital.
The Victoria hospital said in a medical bulletin, "The decision for her to continue treatment in Victoria Hospital has been taken by her and her family members."
"She is conscious, alert and well oriented," the hospital said.
Sasikala was sentenced to a four-year jail term in 2017 in a disproportionate assets case along with her sister-in-law J Ilavarasi and Jayalalithaa's foster son VN Sudhakaran.
