Sasikala Pushpa in Rajya Sabha. File photoNew Delhi: Expelled AIADMK MP Sasikala Pushpa has moved the Supreme Court seeking a CBI probe or a judicial investigation by an apex court judge into the death of J Jayalalithaa.
In her petition, Pushpa has alleged that Jayalalithaa's death was "suspicious" as her actual medical condition was not disclosed, no one was allowed to visit her, her funeral photographs showed embalming marks and everything from her hospitalization to her death "was kept under wraps".
The Rajya Sabha MP has sought directions to the Center, the Tamil Nadu government and Apollo Hospital, where Jayalalithaa was admitted, to disclose details of her health report and treatment in a sealed cover to the apex court.
A similar plea was filed this week in the apex court by Tamil Nadu Telugu Yuva Sakthi claiming that doubts have been raised over the circumstances of the AIADMK leader's death and her medical reports needed to be examined by experts.
