Dinakaran allegedly tried to bribe the poll panel to get its verdict in favour of the Sasikala faction in a tussle with the rival camp  for the party symbol.

Sasikala's faction contested a by-elections on the hat symbol after the EC froze the two leaves symbol+ of the AIADMK acknowledging the split in the party,

The development is expected to spell more trouble for Sasikala, already convicted and jailed on the ground of corruption and getting increasingly alienated within the party, having been served a 'quit' notice by a number of senior AIADMK leaders.
