Vetrivel’s anticipatory bail plea adjourned

When the plea moved by Vetrivel came up for hearing before Justice R Pongiappan, an adjournment request was made by Vetrivel’s group stating that the advocate on record was unable to be present in the court. Even with the prosecution also seeking time, the judge adjourned the plea. On December 20, Vetrivel released the video of a frail Jayalalithaa on a hospital bed. The video created a political storm with the ruling party and others questioning the timing of the release. Washermanpet police registered a case against Vetrivel based on a complaint filed by the Returning Officer.

Subsequently, another case on the complaint given by the secretary to Justice A Arumughaswamy Commission of Inquiry was also booked against him.
