O Panneerselvam orders probe into mysterious death of J Jayalalithaa

Chennai : O Panneerselvam on Wednesday ordered probe into mysterious death of ex Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.

"Govt has responsibility to clear doubts. A sitting Supreme Court judge to head the inquiry commission," said O Panneerselvam.

He said that it is needed as a lot of questions are being raised over admission of Jayalalithaa in the Apollo Hospital.

On Tuesday, P.H. Pandian along with his son Manoj Pandian, a former Rajya Sabha member, charged that Jayalalithaa's death was unnatural.

Manoj Pandian also claimed that Jayalalithaa had once told him that she may be poisoned to death.

"When 'Thuglaq' Editor Cho Ramaswamy and I were Directors of Jaya TV, she (Jayalalithaa) told us that she fears this group would poison her to death," Manoj Pandian said. Ramaswamy died on December 6, 2016.

Panneerselvam said the Governor Ch. Vidyasagar Rao is functioning within the frame of the Constitution.
