Special security has been arranged in view of the judgement in former chief minister of Tamil Nadu J Jayalalithaa’s disproportionate assets case. The 18-year old case is likely to see its logical conclusion today.
Jayalalithaa is charged of amassing assets disproportionate to her known sources amounting to Rs 66.65 crore.
The special court in Karnataka High Court is set to deliver the judgement in a few minutes from now.
Overall, 3000 policemen have been deployed all around the Bengaluru city to prevent untoward incidents. Police have provided heavy security cover at Attibele toll gate, which is the entry point into Karnataka from Tamil Nadu. Entry points at Sarjapur, Hosur have been tightened.
It is expected that a large number of Jayalalithaa’s supporters are trying to enter Karnataka from these entry points.
Extra 200 policemen have been deployed at key locations in Bengaluru city as a precautionary measure to prevent any untoward incidents.
Entry to the Court Hall No. 14 has been restricted for outsiders and only those connected to the case and lawyers from either side are allowed to enter the court hall.
