Over 120 lawmakers of the ruling AIADMK in Tamil Nadu have not been seen since Wednesday, closely guarded by V.K. Sasikala lest they defect to O. Panneerselvam, the man who has challenged her claim to the Chief Minister’s post.
The Police in Chennai have been asked by the Madras High Court to submit a report on the lawmakers. Chennai police chief S George met Governor C. Vidyasagar Rao this morning amid complaints by Panneerselvam’s supporters that lawmakers are being held “hostage”.
