Former Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam on Tuesday said he did not have any suspicions about Jayalalithaa’s death and he was only reflecting the doubts in the minds of the people when he asked for an enquiry commission to probe the circumstances of her death.
Continuing his deposition for the second day at the (retired) Justice Arumughaswamy Commission, Mr. Panneerselvam also said he still had respect and regard for V.K. Sasikala.
During cross examination, V.K. Sasikala’s lawyer Raja Senthoor Pandian asked a pointed question to Mr. Panneerselvam: “Personally, do you have any doubts about Jayalalithaa’s death?” In response, the former Chief Minister said: “ I personally do not have any doubts about her death. There were doubts in people’s minds that were growing stronger and I merely reflected that.”
