Traffic Ramaswamy in his petition had said that Sasikala and Ilavarasi should be moved to Taumakuru district jail, where there are less chances of ministers and influential people from Tamil Nadu visiting the convicts in the Tumakuru jail.

 

The sworn-in ministers may not come to meet Sasikala if she is moved to Tumakuru jail which is about 100 km away from Bengaluru, said Traffic Ramaswamy.
