NEW DELHI, (MILLAT/APP/AFP) – India’s Supreme Court
handed down a four-year prison sentence Tuesday to the incoming chief minister of Tamil Nadu state for corruption in a ruling that prevents her from taking up her post.
VK Sasikala was found guilty of possessing “disproportionate assets” in a long-running case that also involved her mentor Jayalalithaa Jayaram, the state’s former chief minister who died in December.
