No clean chit for Dhinakaran in RK Nagar bypoll bribery case: Delhi police

New Delhi: Joint Commissioner of Delhi Police (crime branch) Praveer Ranjan on Friday said that All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazagham (Amma) faction leader TTV Dhinakaran is not provided clean chit in RK Nagar bypoll bribery case.

"The final chargesheet is yet to be filed. There is no clean chit to Dhinakaran in bribe case," Ranjan said.

Meanwhile, the Delhi Police on Friday filed a chargesheet in the Tis Hazari court against middleman Sukesh.

Dhinakaran was arrested on April 26 accused of trying to bribe Election Commission officials to get AIADMK's poll symbol - Two Leaves - for the Amma faction of the party.

Dhinakaran was accused of giving money to middleman Sukesh Chandrasekar, who had been arrested on April 16. The Tis Hazari Court granted bail to Dhinakaran on June 5 in this case.

On June 14, the Delhi High Court dismissed the bail plea of Sukesh Chandrashekar. Justice S Muralidhar turned down Chandrashekar's bail application on the ground that the police had seized a fake Rajya Sabha member ID card from his possession which was a "serious threat on Parliament's security".

The EC had frozen the AIADMK's symbol after the two factions -- one led by Dhinakaran's aunt Sasikala and the other by former Chief Minister O Panneerselvam -- staked a claim to it.

Dhinakaran is facing the charge of arranging the money from undisclosed sources and getting it transferred from Chennai to Delhi through illegal channels.
