Natarajan critical, Sasikala to seek parole

He was admitted to the ICU at the hospital on March 16 with severe chest infection, the hospital said in the statement. He remains on ventilator support. 

Natarajan had undergone a liver and kidney transplant at the hospital in October 2017 after it was found that he had a worsening liver and kidney failure and was discharged after being on the ventilator.   

Sasikala, who is serving a four-year imprisonment in a disproportionate assets case in the central prison in Bengaluru, had visited her husband after obtaining a five-day emergency parole last year. 

“As per the law, Sasikala cannot come to meet the same person during her parole within a period of six months. However, advocates will, on Monday, apply for her parole,” said V Pugazhendhi, RK Nagar MLA TTV Dinakaran’s supporter, on Sunday, assuring that Sasikala would come to meet her husband Natarajan at the hospital.
