CHENNAI, November 9: Former Chief Minister J Jayalalitha, during whose period of tenure the EPRLF leader Padmanabha murder case was registered in Aug 1991, should quit politics taking moral responsibility for foisting a false case, former DMK Social Welfare Minister and one of the accused in the case Subbulakshmi Jagadeesan has said.When mediapersons besieged Subbulakshmi, her husband Jagadeesan and former Home Secretary R Nagarajan, as they came out of the Poonamallee sub-jail court after the pronouncement of their acquittal on Saturday, Subbulakshmi said she had all along been confident that they would be acquitted. She would decide on suing Jayalalitha for falsely implicating her after talking to DMK supremo and Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, she said.Nagarajan said that the six years of torture and mental agony had come to an end. He had lost four years of service. The (then) government had brought disgrace to the `Q' branch police.The road leading to the sub-jail, where the hardcore LTTE cadres accused in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination and Padmanabha murder cases were lodged, was full of activity following the news of the judgement. Security arrangements were tightened and nobody was allowed to go beyond the barricade.
