NDTV, Chennai :
VK Sasikala drove up on Wednesday evening to the Bengaluru jail where she will spend the next four years, after the Supreme Court convicted her in a corruption case stomping out her attempt to become Tamil Nadu Chief Minister. Her sister-in-law Ilavarasi, also convicted by the top court, traveled with her from Chennai to Bengaluru. Prison authorities have made it clear that Ms Sasikala will merit no special privileges during her stay in jail. As she arrived in a big convoy, escorted by policemen from both states, a few people gathered to watch, a stark contrast from 2014; thousands of AIADMK workers had gathered when she was last imprisoned along with J Jayalalithaa, the powerful matriarch of the ruling AIADMK who died while she was Chief Minister in December.
