Delhi Police questions Dinakaran in bribery case

AIADMK leader TTV Dinakaran on Saturday was questioned by the Delhi police in connection with an alleged attempt to bribe an Election Commission official for retaining the two leaves party symbol.

Dhinakaran, who is Sasikala's nephew, flew in from Chennai in the morning and arrived at the Crime Branch Inter State Cell office in Chanakyapuri at 3 pm. There was heavy security outside the office and mediapersons weren't allowed to enter the premises.

The controversial AIADMK leader on Thursday was served summons by Delhi Police at his Chennai residence in the case. The Delhi police on Tuesday also had issued a lookout notice against him.

The AIADMK (Amma) faction found itself in trouble, following the arrest of an alleged middleman Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who reportedly tried to strike a deal of Rs 50 crore to help the Dinakaran faction to keep the 'two leaves' poll symbol.

The Crime Branch recovered approximately Rs. 1.3 crore and two luxury cars, a BMW and a Mercedes, from Chandrashekhar. The Delhi police later also filed a FIR in which Dinakaran was also named.
