CHENNAI: Proceedings within the Justice Arumughaswamy fee, which is tasked with discovering the instances surrounding former chief minister J Jayalalithaa’s death, took a curious turn on Monday with evidences being submitted relating to AIADMK leaders who had been got rid of from birthday celebration posts after 2011.
On Monday, Kartikeyan, an assistant to Jayalalithaa and her shut aide V Ok Sasikala, was once cross-examined by Sasikala’s lawyers. “I was shown clippings of Namathu MGR and asked in regards to the elimination of AIADMK leaders from 2011 onwards,” he stated.
Sasikala’s counsels have filed affidavits containing the press clippings of the undivided AIADMK’s erstwhile mouthpiece Namadhu MGR, which carried Jayalalithaa’s statements ordering elimination of birthday celebration leaders Natham Viswanathan, O Pannerselvam’s son Raveendranath, R Nataraj, T Nagar Sathya, Thoppu Venkatachalam, V Maithreyan and Ok P Munusamy.
“Why we now have completed this, you are going to come to know later,” stated Raja Senthoor Pandian, Sasikala’s counsel, indicating that they had been laying the field for one thing bigger later.
Sources stated that the original affidavit filed by Sasikala states that she was once got rid of from the birthday celebration in 2011 due to former Thuglak editor Cho Ramaswamy’s machinations. This was once showed by Pandian to TOI.
Curiously, Sasikala’s counsel has submitted a memo, declaring that they don’t need to cross-examine former IPS officers Amaresh Pujari, Ok Ramanujam, Thamarai Kannan and J Ok Tripathy; and Jayalalithaa’s two drivers Kannan and Iyappan.
“These IPS officers had been asked about Sasikala’s elimination from the birthday celebration in 2011. They have categorically instructed the fee that there are not any audio recordings or tapes which show a conspiracy towards Jayalalithaa by Sasikala,” Pandian stated, including that they've cross-examined handiest the ones other people they wanted to.
Of the 35 witnesses, 24 have been cross-examined and only some more had been left, Pandian stated, indicating that they had been certainly not delaying the probe as alluded to by the Justice Arumughaswamy in his previous orders.
