The Hindu
AIADMK leader and former Minister D. Jayakumar was released on bail and was given a grand reception by his supporters on Saturday.
Mr. Jayakumar was arrested by the city police on February 20 in a case relating to assaulting and parading a DMK cadre without his shirt, for allegedly attempting to cast bogus vote in a booth at Royapuram on the day of local bodies polls. Subsequently, another arrest was also effected for a road blockade case and a property dispute.
He was granted bail in two cases last week and the Madras High Court granted him bail in the third case on Friday. Following this, he was released on bail on Saturday morning. Talking to reporters here, Mr. Jayakumar said cases have been foisted against him to intimidate the AIADMK and party cadre. He added that these vendetta politics would not work against the AIADMK.
Later, AIADMK coordinator O. Panneerselvam and co-coordinator Edappadi K.Palaniswami and former Ministers met Mr. Jayakumar at his residence in Pattinambakkam and enquired about his health.
