Jailed AIADMK leader VK Sasikala has been granted a five-day parole by the Karnataka prison authorities, days after she filed for a 15-day bail to attend to her ailing husband in Chennai. The Tamil Nadu government laid down rules like, Sasikala be confined to her house and travel only to and fro the hospital. The EPS faction wary of Sasikala's influence over party MLAs also demanded that the beleaguered AIADMK leader not be allowed to meet any political figurehead. According to reports, scores of Sasikala's supporters gathered outside Parappana Agrahara Central Prison in Bengaluru today to catch her glimpse. #WATCH: VK Sasikala leaves from Bengaluru's Central Jail after being granted a parole of 5 days to visit her ailing husband pic.twitter.com/llHAcW560q - ANI (@ANI) October 6, 2017Her parole plea expedited today after Bengaluru prison authorities received a mail from the Chennai Commissionerate confirming that her husband Natarajan is indeed unwell.
