FERA: ED says no to Sasi plea for questions
Jailed AIADMK (Amma) leader VK Sasikala petitioned a court here to send her the list of questions to be asked to her when the court takes up framing of charges against her in a two-decade old FERA case. The ED, however, objected to her request and therefore, the case has been adjourned.

The ruling party leader, who is now lodged in the Parpana Agrahara prison in Bengaluru, had moved the economic offences court of additional chief metropolitan magistrate, which is to frame charges in the FERA case against her. The EO court had earlier allowed her plea to appear before it through video conference from the prison.Â
Sasikala has now sought the details of questions to enable her to answer them through video conference. The court has posted the present petition for arguments to June 2. Sasikala, one of her relatives and  JJ TV (now defunct) are being prosecuted by the ED in a case of FERA violations in 1995-96. The case relates to the alleged breach in FERA laws in making remittances for a transponder and uplinking charges for the erstwhile channel.
