Earlier, the Karnataka Prisons authority on Tuesday had rejected the parole application filed by the AIADMK leader. Sasikala on October 1 had applied for a 15-day parole to meet her unwell husband, according to her nephew and ousted leader TTV Dhinakaran.

Natarajan is currently undergoing treatment at a corporate hospital for liver problem and was awaiting for liver transplantation.

Sasikala, who is serving in Parappana Agrahara jail in Bengaluru, was convicted and sentenced to a four-year prison term in the Rs 66.6-crore disproportionate assets case. Along with Sasikala, her relatives Ilavarasi and V N Sudhakaran are also serving a four-year jail term.
