Justice Arumugaswamy’s commission probing Jayalalithaa’s death prohibits reports discussing circumstances leading to her death.

News agencies have been asked to obtain prior permission before publication or telecast of such reports.

This order comes on the eve of Jaya’s second death anniversary.

News agencies have also been asked to submit any documentary evidence that they may possess.

A TV channel had recently telecast a six episode program on Jayalalithaa’s death mystery, to which Sasikala’s lawyer had objected and sought submission of evidence.
