Former Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) (Prisons) D Roopa said that she has submitted a video footage.
In more trouble for VK Sasikala, former Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) (Prisons) D Roopa has submitted a video footage of AIADMK interim General Secretary walking into the main entry area of Bengaluru prison, to the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).
Sasikala is lodged at Parappana Agrahara central prison ever since her conviction in February in the disproportionate assets case along with her two relatives VN Sudhakaran and Elavarasi, all serving a four-year jail term.
The former top cop submitted the footage as part of her statement to the ACB of the Karnataka Police.
Following a summons by the ACB, Roopa had submitted 74 enclosures as evidence to substantiate her charges. She received summons on July 31, the day Director General (Prisons) G. Sathyanarayan Rao retired.
Speaking to The Hindu, Roopa said that the enclosures included a video footage — taken from the prison CCTV — showing Sasikala and Ilavarasi, each carrying a bag, entering the prison from the main gate in the presence of male guards.
“Male guards are not allowed inside the women’s prison complex. Their deployment is outside the women’s prison premises at the main gate… it has to be investigated where she (Sasikala) is coming from and who permitted it,” she said.
DIG Roopa had alleged that the AIADMK chief was getting special facilities, including an exclusive kitchen to cook food for her, in complete violation of jail rules.
In a report submitted on July 12 to Sathyanarayana Rao, who was DGP (Prisons) then, Roopa as Deputy Inspector of General (Prisons) had said there was 'a talk' that Rs two crore had exchanged hands to give preferential treatment to Sasikala and that there were allegations against him also.
After Roopa and Rao indulged in a public spat over the report, the Karnataka government had shifted her as Deputy Inspector General of Police and Commissioner for Traffic and Road Safety, Bengaluru, while Rao was asked to go on leave.
