Chennai: AIADMK coordinator O Panneerselvam appearing before Justice (Retd.) Arumughaswamy Commission of inquiry for the second consecutive day on Tuesday said that he does not have any doubt over the death of late TN CM J Jayalalithaa.

However, the Arumughasamy Commission of inquiry was set up after OPS during the merger of his camp with AIADMK in 2017 placed a demand to probe into Jayalalithaa’s death due to alleged suspicions surrounding her sudden demise.

According to a report on ABP Nadu, O Panneerselvam appearing before the commission on Tuesday said that he does not have any doubt over the death of Jayalalithaa and also he has respect for former AIADMK General Secretary Sasikala.

He said, "Then and now, I always have respect for Sasikala."

During the questioning, OPS also said, "I saw Jayalalithaa on December 5 along with three other then AIADMK Ministers." 

He also said that he was aware about Jayalalithaa signing the papers for by-polls from the hospital bed.

However, he said that he does not know anything about the food that was provided to Jayalalithaa, the treatment or her ailment. 

The Arumugasamy commission was formed in 2017 to inquire about the death of former TN CM Jayalalithaa and summoned OPS several times in the past.
