Sasikala paid Rs. two-crore bribe to get special facilities in jail : Prison report
In her report sent to the state's Director General of Prisons H Sathyanarayana Rao, Karnataka’s deputy inspector general of prisons Roopa D Moudgil has said that a separate kitchen has been set up for Sasikala, flouting prison rules.
Moudgil prepared the report after inspecting the jail on July 10.
Chief minister Siddaramaiah said on Thursday that a probe has been ordered.
“We have taken serious cognizance of the allegation of irregularities in Bengaluru Central Prison & ordered a high level inquiry,” he tweeted.
Sasikala, the top leader of Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK, was sentenced to serve four years in jail for corruption by the Supreme Court for disproportionate assets.
Rao has denied the charges and accused Moudgil of “gross insubordination”.
