AIADMK leader Sasikala paid bribe to get VIP treatment in Karnataka jail, claims DIG (Prisons)

As it was speculated that AIADMK general secretary and convict in corruption case, VK Sasikala  is receiving special treatment in Parappana Agrahara central prison, a report prepared by DIG (Prisons ) D Roopa divulged that former Jayalalithaa’s aide has allegedly bribed Rs two crore to jail officials including DG (prisons ) Satyanarayan Rao to enjoy the facility.

The DIG (Prison) stated in her report to the additional chief secretary, DGP (Prisons) and home secretary that a special kitchen has been set up for Sasikala which is against the norm.

In the report, it is said that special treatment is also being given to Abdul Karim Telgi who is convicted in fake stamp paper scam. DIG (Prisons) D Roopa also said that 3-4 convicted prisoners have been deputed to Abdul Karim Telgi for body massage.

D Roopa, DIG (Prisons) said she was on government sanctioned leave and found this after returning to the job.  

The DIG (Prisons) further said it could be a lapse on her part if she does not report to the government. She further said that the government should do a fact-finding report whether her report was correct or not. 

On the other hand, DG (prisons ) Satyanarayan Rao denied all allegations, saying that he is ready to face any probe. Rao also said that DIG (Prisons) D Roopa should discuss with him if she observed any wrongdoing in prison. He said there was no truth in her report. 

Rao said that they are following court orders as the court had stated to give her assistance.
