Sasikala Guilty Of Corruption; Chief Ministerial Hopes Shattered

February 14, 2017

India's Supreme Court has held VK Sasikala, AIADMK chief, guilty of helping former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa amass illicit wealth worth over 60 crores in the 1990s and has convicted her.

Sasikala will have to surrender immediately and will send to jail.

This puts an end to her claim to be Tamil Nadu's next chief minister - she cannot hold public office or contest elections for the period of her jail term and six years after that. (NDTV)
