Bengaluru, Mar 20 (IBNS) : Chennai, Mar 20 (IBNS) : Jailed  AIADMK leader VK Sasikala was granted 15-day parole by the prison authorities after her husband, Natarajan Maruthappa died on Tuesday, media reports said.

Lodged in Parapanna Agrahara central jail in Bengaluru, Sasikala  is currently serving a four-year sentence after being convicted in a disproportionate assets case in 2017.

She prayed for parole to attend her husband's last rites.

Sasikala, who was a close aide to former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa,  was sent to  prison in February, 2017, after the Supreme Court set aside her acquittal by the Karnataka High Court in the Disproportionate Assets Case.

Natarajan, who was 74-years-old, died in a private hospital on Tuesday.
