CHENNAI: Three other people, central to the probe into instances surrounding former leader minister J Jayalalithaa's dying, have both modified or retracted their statements made sooner than the Justice A Arumughaswamy commission of inquiry, which is probing the dying.
Jayalalithaa's private security officer (PSO) Veeraperumal, throughout his exam on March 27, had said that state ministers would possibly have observed Jayalalithaa whilst she was once being wheeled down from the second floor of Apollo hospitals. "When Amma was being brought down in the stretcher, some ministers, out of curiosity, might have lifted the curtain (that was erected to sequester her from public view)," he stated.
To any other query on whether or not the ministers noticed her, he stated sure and added that they would all the time keep their eyes down, documents with the commission state.
However, when he was once cross-examined on the issue on May 26, Veeraperumal first stood by way of his remark. However, a few hours later he returned to the commission, and requested it to file that he meant that the 'ministers had observed the CM within the secretariat and he did not imply that they noticed her at the sanatorium'. Raja Senthur Pandian, counsel for V Okay Sasikala, who did the cross-examination, objected to this retraction, and it was once recorded by way of the commission.
Former TRANSTAN member-secretary P Balaji, throughout his exam on February 14, had stated that after he went to take Jayalalithaa's thumb impact on poll affidavit, he had knowledgeable well being secretary on telephone in regards to the consult with and "he (J Radhakrishnan) said OK." Balaji had also recorded sooner than the commission thus: "I called the health minister (Vijaya Baskar) separately and informed him. He also said OK."
I went there of my own will: Govt doc
State govt doctor Balaji was once the only other person, apart from Sasikala, present when Jayalalithaa’s thumb impressions have been taken in Apollo Hospitals. However, the following day, Balaji approached the commission with a petition saying that he had not long gone to Apollo on the well being secretary or minister’s instructions.
“I went there of my own will,” he instructed the commission. Radhakrishnan had earlier stated Balaji was once a government doctor and he didn't need anybody’s permission to attest a signature. On his part, former leader secretary Ram Mohan Rao instructed reporters that he had never given a remark regarding the presence of ministers at Apollo Hospitals on December four, 2016. This was once two days after he spoke about ministers’ presence at Apollo on December four and five, 2016, throughout his cross-examination by way of Sasikala’s counsels.
This was once after ministers of the AIADMK govt lashed out at his remark, with finance minister D Jayakumar stating that Rao must be subjected to custodial interrogation. Rao also met the commission on April 18, however resources stated there was once no file of him converting his remark.
