TTV Dinakaran will appear before the Delhi police in connection with a case of alleged bribery to EC officials for retrieving the party's 'two leaves' symbol.
Two days after the Delhi police served summons, AIADMK Deputy Chief TTV Dhinakaran will on Saturday appear before them in connection with a case of alleged bribery to EC officials for retrieving the party's 'two leaves' symbol.
On Saturday morning, Dinakaran boarded a flight to Delhi, and said that he will speak to the media after returning from the national capital.
Amid mid-night drama, Dinakaran was summoned on Wednesday at his upscale Besant Nagar residence.
Earlier, the lookout notice was issued in the wake of inputs that he was an NRI and could try to flee the country.
The AIADMK (Amma) Deputy General Secretary is already facing the heat as the K Palaniswami Cabinet revolted against him and decided to keep him and his family out of the party and the government.
Dinakaran has virtually questioned the need for the lookout notice, saying how could he flee the country when his passport was "in court" for 20 years.
Earlier, the Crime Branch had arrested an alleged middleman, Sukesh Chandrashekhar here in connection with the matter.
He claimed that he had told Dinakaran that he will get a favourable verdict from the Election Commission of India in the party symbol case, he said.
The 27-year-old had told Dhinakaran that he has contacts in the Election Commission and his contacts will help the Sasikala faction get the AIADMK's poll symbol of two leaves in a byboll to the R K Nagar Assembly seat in Tamil Nadu.
Police got on Chadrashekhar's trail after they received a tip-off from an informer about certain Election Commission officials being approached.
It has been learnt that he had struck a deal for Rs 50 crore for helping the AIADMK faction keep the 'two leaves' symbol.
