In a major blow to AIADMK General Secretary Sasikala Natarajan, the Supreme Court on Tuesday pronounced Natarajan guilty and announced a 4-year jail term in the 21-year-old Disproportionate Assets (DA) case against her. 

She is expected to serve over 3 years in jail.

The apex court has asked Sasikala to surrender as soon as possible. As per the reports, the police have reached the Golden Bay Resort to arrest the general secretary of AIADMK.

All the convicted persons have to serve the remaining part of the sentence, said Supreme Court while pronouncing its judgement against Sasikala.

Sasikala will have to surrender herself forthwith. As per the reports, Sasikala will not be able to contest elections for 6 years.
