The HC adjourned a plea relating to certain discrepancies in the I-T returns filed by Sasikala during 1994-95 on the submission of her counsel that certain clarifications need to be obtained following her likely release.

Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh police arrested ‘Katta’ Bhaskar, father-in-law of Vivek Jayaraman, head of Jaya TV, in connection with red sanders smuggling. Bhaskar has been picked up as there were 21 non- bailable warrants pending against him for smuggling red sanders. Vivek is son of Ilavarasi, who is currently lodged in Bengaluru jail along with Sasikala, who is her late husband’s sister.
