A trial court here Saturday sentenced Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa to a four-year jail term in the Rs.66-crore disproportionate assets case.

Special judge John Michael Cunha pronounced the sentence, hours after he convicted her.

The judge sentenced the three co-accused -- V.K. Sasikala, V.N. Sudhakaran and J. Illavarasi -- to four years jail as they too were convicted on similar charges under the relevant sections of the IPC and the Prevention of Corruption Act.
