A day after the Supreme Court convicted Tamil Nadu chief minister hopeful VK Sasikala in a corruption case, a kidnapping case has been filed against her by All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) Madurai (South) MLA S S Saravanan, who joined the caretaker Chief Minister Panneerselvam's faction.

Saravanan filed a complaint against Sasikala and now-AIADMK Legislature Party leader K Palanisamy in Kuvathur Police Station.

He claimed that the MLAs at the Koovathur resort were being traumatised. “We were isolated in one place and were affected emotionally. But we were attending phone calls and were active on social media, backing OPS,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to entertain Sasikala's plea seeking more time to surrender and go to jail to serve a four-year jail term accorded to her in the disproportionate assets case. She has since left for Bengaluru to surrender before a court.

Before heading out from TN though, Sasikala visited J Jayalalithaa's memorial and the Ramapuram residence of party founder M G Ramachandran. At Jayalalithaa's memorial on the Marina Beach, Sasikala paid floral tributes.

The 62-year-old leader was locked in a bitter tussle with AIADMK's O Panneerselvam for Tamil Nadu's chief minister chair.

"Only I can be jailed not the care or concern I have for this party. Wherever I will be, my thoughts will be here," Sasikala told both her MLAs at the Koovathur resort as well as to her supporters later at Poes Garden on Tuesday night.
