V Pugazhendi, secretary of the AIADMK's Karnataka unit ,said that Sasikala was fine, but weak and had applied for better facilities. "We are hoping the authorities will consider her request for better amenities like a cot, mattress, table fan and attached bathroom so that she can take care of her health till she gets transferred to the Central Jail in Chennai," she said. 

She had also asked for home cooked food and mineral water earlier which was denied by the jail authorities. 

Sasikala had been put up in Central Jail in the southern outskirts of Bengaluru. She had spent three weeks in jail with Jayalalithaa in 2014 after a lower court sentenced her and the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister in the case.

This time she is serving the sentence with her sister-in-law Elavarasi and her nephew VK Sudhakaran. Her sentence can be extended if she fails to pay the hefty Rs 10 crore fine.
