Due to the security reasons the court hall where the AIADMK General Secretary VK Sasikala was scheduled to surrender today has been shifted to the central jail at Parappana Agrahara.

The Bengaluru City police had made a request the Karnataka High Court to which the Court Registrar accepted the request to shift the court hall in the city citing security and other considerations.

The Parappana Agrahara jail is located close to Hosur, the entry point at Tamil Nadu-Karnataka border.

In September 2014, when the trial court convicted Late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, Sasikala and her relatives V N Sudhakaran and J Ilavarasi in the Disproportionate Assets case they spent three weeks in the Agrahara jail.

Today the Apex court refused Sasikala’s plea seeking more time to surrender for undergoing prison term.

From Husband to nephews the return of all VK Sasikalas men

Yesterday the Supreme Court restored Sasikala’s conviction in the Disproportionate Assets case and sentenced the AIADMK general secretary and her relatives for four years in prison and imposed a fine of RS 10 Crore each.

Late Jayalalithaa was imposed a fine of Rs 100 crore by the trial court.

On her way to the Bengaluru jail Sasikala pays floral tribute to Jayalalithaa at Chennai's Marina Beach.

In Tamil Nadu state, all eyes are now on the Raj Bhavan in anticipation of a floor test in the Assembly to decide who gets the state’s chief minister ship — caretaker CM O Panneerselvam or Sasikala loyalist Edappadi Palaniswami.

Sasikala’s husband Natarajan has reached the Parappana Agrahara jail, along with the Lok Sabha Deputy Speaker M Thambidurai.
