The Chennai police have arrested a city-based nutritionist Dr Rama Seetha of Perambur, after she claimed in a public meeting that former Tamil Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa was brought dead to the Apollo hospital.
The police arrested Dr Seetha based on a complaint filed by the management of the Apollo hospital, where Jayalalithaa was admitted on September 22, Times of India reported.
A few weeks back during a public meeting held by supporters of Deepa Jayakumar, niece of Jayalalithaa, Dr Seetha made the shocking revelation.
Police now have registered a case against her under IPC Sections 419 (cheating by impersonation), 153 (deliberately giving provocative statement with intent to cause riot) and 505 (statement conducive to public mischief).
The Apollo hospital management has claimed that Dr Seetha never worked for them.
