One more person from Kerala was on Thursday arrested by police in connection with the break-in and murder of a guard at Kodanadu estate of late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa. Manoj alias Manoj Sami was detained in Alapuzha in Kerala based on the interrogation of those arrested earlier in connection with the case, police said. Manoj was allegedly hired by Kanagaraj and Sayan, the key conspirators in the crime. With this, the number of persons arrested in the April 24 incident has risen to eight. The Kodanadu estate figures in a disproportionate assets case involving jailed AIADMK general secretary V K Sasikala and late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, among others.
