AIADMK General Secretary and convict VK Sasikala Natarajan has been accused of bribing Karnataka Director General of Prisons (DGP) Satyanarayana Rao and city central jail officials for undue favours.

“Sasikala has given Rs one crore bribe to Rao and another Rs one crore was distributed among officials, including the warden of the central jail, where she is serving a four-year sentence in an illegal wealth case for allowing her special privileges,” a local news channel reported, quoting Deputy Inspector of Prisons (DIG) Roopa Moudgil’s report submitted to the state government.
