New Delhi: Delhi Police Commissioner Praveer Ranjan said on Friday that India’s faction leader Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazagham (Amma), TTV Dhinakaran, will not receive clean chit in the case of bribery RK Nagar bypoll.
“The final wallet has not yet been filed, there is no clean chit for Dhinakaran in case of bribery,” Ranjan said.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police on Friday filed an indictment in the court of Tis Hazari against the intermediary Sukesh.
Dhinakaran was arrested on April 26 accused of trying to bribe officials of the Electoral Commission to obtain the AIADMK poll symbol – Two Leaves – for the party’s Amma faction.
Dhinakaran was accused of giving money to the intermediary Sukesh Chandrasekar, who had been arrested on 16 April. The Tis Hazari Tribunal granted bail to Dhinakaran on June 5 in this case.
On 14 June, the Delhi Supreme Court dismissed Sukesh Chandrashekar’s bail request. Judge S Muralidhar rejected Chandrashekar’s application for bail on the grounds that the police had taken a false Rajya Sabha identification card from his possession, which constituted a “grave threat to Parliament’s security.”
The EC had frozen the AIADMK symbol after the two factions – one led by Dhinakaran Sasikala’s aunt and the other by former Prime Minister O Panneerselvam – complained.
Dhinakaran faces the burden of arranging money from undisclosed sources and getting it transferred from Chennai to Delhi through illegal channels.
