V K Sasikala to surrender today

The AIADK interim general secretary V K Sasikala, who has been convicted in the disproportionate assets case by the Supreme Court, will surrender today to serve the remaining period of her sentence.

SC quashed Karnataka HC verdict acquitting AIADMK General Secretary Sasikala Natarajan in the disproportionate assets case today and the Sasikala will have to surrender herself for undergoing remaining three-and-a-half-year jail term.

SC, however, abated the appeal proceedings against J Jayalalithaa owing to her death on December 5 last.

SC restored in toto the conviction and sentence awarded by the trial court in Bengaluru to all the accused.

All the convicted persons have to serve the remaining part of the sentence.
