On Jayalalithaa death, Commission calls for probe against Sasikala

Arumughaswamy Commission of Inquiry constituted to probe the death of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and AIADMK leader J Jayalalithaa has called for an investigation against Sasikala, among three others. The report of the Arumugasamy Inquiry Committee, which probed the death of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and AIADMK leader Jayalalithaa, was tabled in the State Assembly on Tuesday. 

The Commission concluded that Sasikala, Jayalalithaa’s personal Doctor K.S. Sivakumar, then Health Secretary Radhakrishnan, C.Vijayabaskar who was health Minister are found to be at fault and an investigation is to be ordered.

Earlier in August, the single-member commission of retired Justice Arumugasamy, appointed to probe J Jayalalithaa’s death, submitted its report to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin at the Secretariat after five years. 

After the demise of Jayalalithaa in December 2016, full-scale politics erupted over the cause of her death and the medical procedures followed during her hospitalisation.
Former Tamil Nadu chief minister O Pannerselvam had requested a probe into her death. This led to the formation of the Arumughaswamy Commission. 

The Commission was assigned to enquire into the circumstances, health condition and situation leading to the hospitalisation of the late Chief Minister J Jayalalitha on 22 September 2016 and subsequent treatment provided till her unfortunate demise on 5 December 2016. 

Aarumugasami has filed his 608 pages final report in Tamil and 500 pages report in English. Over 159 witnesses in relation to Jayalalithaa have appeared before Arumughaswamy Commission and have put forward their points of view. 

Notably, Arumughaswamy Commission commenced its investigation in November 2017 with many hearings of close aides of Jayalalithaa and doctors who provided treatment, then Tamil Nadu Health Minister Vijayabhakar, then Health Secretary Radhakrishnan, then Finance Minister of Tamil Nadu and AIADMK senior leader O Pannerselvam.
