Bengaluru sources have reported that a CCTV footage purportedly showing AIADMK chief V K Sasikala entering the Central jail here along with her sister-in-law in plain clothes has surdata-faced in the media. Sources have stated that the footage was submitted by ex-DIG (Prisons) D Roopa on August 19 as part of her statement to the Anti-Corruption Bureau in support of her allegations that Sasikala was being given preferential treatment in the prison.
According to sources the footage shows the two women carrying bags and apparently entering the Parapanna Agrahara central prison, where Sasikala is serving a sentence in the disproportionate assets case, after the guard opens one of the gates. It however, does not throw light on when it was recorded or which part of the jail it is from.
Earlier Sasikala is lodged at Parappana Agrahara central jail here ever since her conviction in February in a disproportionate assets case along with her two relatives V N Sudhakaran and Elavarasi, all serving a four year jail term. Moreover Roopa confirmed that she had given evidence to the ACB on August 19. Roopa had alleged on July 13 that preferential treatment was being given to Sasikala at the prison, prompting the government to order a probe into it.
