Disproportionate assets case
Sasikala is co-accused in a DA case against former TN chief minister and her mentor Jayalalithaa, along with Ilavarasi and VN Sudhakaran.
In the case almost filed 20 years ago, Jayalalithaa was accused of misusing her office during her first tenure as chief minister during 1991-96 to amass properties worth ₹66.65 crores and depositing the amount in her proxy accounts.
A raid in her Poes garden residence in 1997 recovered 800 kg (1,800 lb) silver, 28 kg (62 lb) gold, 750 pairs of shoes, 10,500 sarees, 91 watches and other valuables.
However, she and all others were acquitted by Karnataka High Court in 2014. The case is now pending in Supreme Court.
