Police complaint against Dinkaran aide who released Jaya video

December 20, 2017 23:21

The one man commission probing the circumstances leading to hospitalisation and medical treatment provided to late J Jayalalithaa till her death last year today filed a police complaint today against an aide of TTV Dinakaran who released a purported video of the late chief minister.

According to a police official, a complaint has been received from the Justice A Arumughaswamy Commission "seeking action against Vetrivel" even as the Commission has started the inquiry as per its terms of reference.

The official declined to divulge details of the complaint.

The commission reportedly alleged that Vetrivel had intentionally released the purported video to "degrade" it and to create law and order problems.

Earlier the Election Commisson had also filed a complaint against Vetrivel.

The release of the video, purpotedly showing Jayalalithaa in a hospital, released by P Vetrivel, loyalist of sidelined AIADMK leader Dhinakaran, had set off a political controversy.

The DMK ,which raised the issue of doubts over Jayalalithaa's death during the campaign, and several others alleged that the video had been released with an eye on the bypoll.

The about 20 second footage,showing a frail looking AIADMK supremo in a nightdress and sipping what appeared to be a health drink with a straw, was released by Vetrivel, disqualified AIADMK MLA and election agent of Dinakaran, contesting the bypoll as an independent.

The AIADMK hit out at Sasikala's family, saying the video release was a "conspiracy" and a "demeaning" act with an eye on the bypoll. -- PTI
