Death threats to Jayalalithaa to be probed by CBI | The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) Government in Tamil Nadu on Tuesday decided to hand over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) five cases regarding repeated death threats issued to former State Chief Minister and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) leader J. Jayalalithaa. This decisions
comes
a day after an AIADMK delegation made yet another representation to the Chief
Secretary and Home Secretary demanding a CBI probe into the death threats.
"Accepting
the demand made by the AIADMK delegation, the Tamil Nadu Government has
decided
to transfer to the CBI all cases pertaining to issuing of death threats to Jayalalithaa,"
the Government said in a statement. The Government, however, said the State police
is taking all required action on a set of complaints by AIADMK backed Jaya TV
channel, which has claimed it has received several letters warning Jayalalithaa
against touring Madurai for a proposed rally in October. It has been reported
that the Government has formed special teams to investigate the matter after cases
were filed at Guindy police station in Chennai and the teams had toured Madurai,
Tanjavur to conduct investigation with employees of Postal department.
"High-ranking
officials were overseeing the investigation and the letters have been sent for
forensic examination," the statement said. Earlier on September 8, the DMK
Government
said enough security is being provided to Jayalalithaa in view of the alleged
death threats received by her recently.
