Chennai: On a day when Tamil Nadu police submitted a report to the Madras High Court saying the legislators supporting AIADMK general secretary V.K. Sasikala are not being held captive at a beach resort near here, one of the lawmakers housed there claimed that he made a dramatic escape from the spot.
S.S. Saravanan, who represents Madurai South, landed up at acting chief minister O. Panneerselvam's residence Monday, where he told the media that he scaled up a wall and jumped down to escape.
Saravanan also said that he had to disguise himself and change his get-up to escape from the beach resort.
His 'escape' comes on a day when Sasikala decided to visit the beach resort again for the third day, and subsequently spend the night there.
With Saravanan joining the OPS camp, the number of legislators supporting Panneerselvam has gone up to seven. Addressing the legislators at the resort Monday, Sasikala said they all can go out happily Tuesday.
