CHENNAI: Dr P Balaji, the government doctor who attested former chief minister J Jayalalithaa's thumb impressions on the party's nominations for the bypolls last year, has told the Justice Arumughasamy commission that he and Sasikala were the only people present when the thumb impressions were made.
A source told TOI that of the seven doctors who appeared before the commission till Tuesday, Balaji was the only one who admitted to seeing Jayalalithaa when she was in Apollo Hospitals. He appeared before the commission on Thursday last and has been summoned again and asked him to file a written statement on the matter.
"None of the state government doctors among the five member committee formed to oversee her treatment had seen her. That's what they have submitted before the commission," a top source in the know said.
Jaya panel has summoned 16 people so far
The Arumughasamy commission was constituted by the state to inquire into the circumstances leading to Jayalalithaa's death. Last week, government doctors like Dharmaraj, Narayana Babu, former director of medical education Vimala, Kala and Mayilvaganan appeared before the panel after they were issued summons.
Balaji earlier told the Madras HC that Jayalalithaa affixed her thumb impressions only after the document was read outtoher in thehospital.
The commission, based on the first floor of Kalas Mahal in Chepuak, has summoned16 people so far, including eight government doctors, DMK's P Saravanan and Madhavan, husband of Jayalalithaa's niece Deepa. Sources said the panel, whose term is to end on December 24, has written to the state seeking a six-month extension. "The state may give an extension of three months. The probe will be completed soon," a source said.
