Jayalalithaa’s corruption case: Supporters protest against HC’s verdict

The supporters of former chief minister of Tamil Nadu J Jayalalithaa expressed anger and dismay after the Karnataka High court denied bail to the actor-politician on Tuesday. Reports suggest that Jayalalithaa’s lawyer is planning to approach the Supreme Court to get bail for her.
The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday heard AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa's plea seeking immediate bail and suspension of her four-year sentence in an 18-year-old disproportionate assets case.
The police bandobast in and around the HC was tight to avoid any untoward incident on Tuesday.
“We have made all security arrangements to avoid any untoward incidents. We have information on a lot of AIADMK supporters and leaders flocking to the city from the border areas of Hosur," ACP (Law and Order) Alok Kumar told PTI in Bangalore.
The actor-politician made her debut as the lead actress in Kannada films while still in school, age 15, in Chinnada Gombe (1964).
