J Jayalalithaa's first medical report that was filed on the day she was brought to Chennai's Apollo Hospital has been leaked in local media.

According to the latest media reports, the medical record of the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister said that she was 'breathless' and 'drowsy' when admitted.

She had extremely high sugar level at 508 and very low oxygen saturation level at 45%, the report said.

The NDTV report said that though her condition was critical, Jayalalithaa was conscious and talking.

The new round of reports have deepened the mystery surrounding the death of AIADMK's 'eternal General Secretary' on December 5 last year even as an inquiry commission headed by retired High Court judge has been set up to probe the death.

The leaked medical report also clears one thing that Jayalalithaa didn't suffer any external injuries on September 22, 2016 as claimed by former Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker PH Pandian, who had said that she was pushed down by someone at her Poes Garden residence.

Recently, many AIADMK members and some ministers in Tamil Nadu government had made claims and counter-claims over Jayalalithaa's stay at Apollo Hospital.

“We told lies that Amma is eating sambar, chutney, tea etc so that you will believe that she is improving. In fact, nobody saw Amma eating idli or drinking tea or chatting... all are lies,” Tamil Nadu forest minister Sreenivasan had said last week.

According to the minister, everyone was lying to protect 'party's secret'. He said he wanted to the people of Tamil Nadu to apologise him for all those lies. "I seek pardon from you. Please forgive me."

TTV Dhinakaran, however, defended his aunt and said nobody was allowed in Amma's room due to fear of infection. Dhinakaran also said that he has footage of Jayalalithaa getting treatment in hospital and would hand it over at "an appropriate time".
