Chennai: Expelled AIADMK leader VK Sasikala will be officially released from prison by noon today.

According to sources, all her release formalities have been completed, with her counsel Raja Senthur Pandian submitting all the required documents to the prison authorities on Tuesday.

Sasikala who has been diagnosed with Covid-19 is currently getting treated at the Victoria Hospital, where she is said to be ‘stable’.

“Once she is handed over to her relatives, it is their call on whether she shall continue taking treatment at Bengaluru or will be taken to Chennai,” sources added.

Meanwhile, AMMK party workers are gearing up to welcome Sasikala in a grand manner, with some of the cadre already waiting in Bengaluru to receive her.

The close aide of former CM J Jayalalithaa has been serving a four-year-term at the Parappana Agrahara prison in Bengaluru, after being convicted in a disproportionate assets case.
