New Delhi/Chennai: The Delhi Police Crime Branch on Monday named AIADMK leader TTV Dinakaran in an FIR filed after the seizure of Rs 1.5 crore allegedly aimed at influencing the war over the party’s election symbol of “two leaves".
Delhi Police teams will leave for Chennai on Tuesday to serve the summons to Dinakaran.
Denying the charges, Dinakaran said he didn’t know any Sukesh. “I did not bribe anyone. If I receive summons, I will face the case legally," he said.
Dinakaran also said he would meet Sasikala on Monday. “I will meet Sasikala today. There is nothing significant in meeting Sasikala. I haven't met her for 15-20 days. There is no revolt in the party," he said.
Soon after the FIR, O Panneerselvam said he was open to merging his faction with the parent party if Sasikala and Dinakaran withdrew from their posts.
