Chennai: Even as former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa’s close aide V K Sasikala’s supporters were expecting her release from the Parappana Agrahara prison in Karnataka, the jail authorities have said that exact date of her release cannot be determined yet.
A communication from the prison authorities said that multiple norms are encompassed to calculate the date of release for any given convict convict.
“For example, date of release changes based on the fine payment status accordingly,” it added.
The prison authorities issued the clarification in reponse to a RTI filed by one T Narasimha Murthy.
Sasikala was sentenced to four years jail sentence in February 2017 in a disproportionate assets case that also involved her relatives Ilavarasi and Sudhakaran.
