Madras High Court on Thursday asked why the body of the late AIADMK laeader, J Jayalalithaa, could not be exhumed.
While hearing a petition on Jayalalithaa’s death, Justice Vaidyalingam said, “Media has raised a lot of doubts and personally I also have doubts on Jayalalithaa’s death. When she was admitted in hospital, it was said that she was on proper diet. At least after her death, truth should be revealed.”
Jayalalithaa had died on 5 December after a prolonged illness in Chennai’s Apollo hospital. The cause of her illness has since been an intense topic of media speculations and dominated the political discourse of Tamil Nadu politics.
On Wednesday, one of Jaya’s loyalists had alleged that the late leader was poisoned.
Speaking to India Today, Shihhan Hussaini had said, “Everyone knows that Jayalalithaa was murdered. We want to find out who was the conspirator.”
Hussaini had called for exhuming of Jayalalithaa’s body to investigate the real reason of her death.
Today’s development came just after the AIADMK elected VK Sasikala, a close confidante of Jayalalithaa, as the new general secretary of the party.
