NEW DELHI: AIADMK (Amma) leader
TTV Dhinakaran was arrested Tuesday night after
four days of questioning by Delhi Police.
He is accused of
attempting to bribe an Election Commission official for retaining the party's poll symbol of "two-leaves" for his faction.
Dhinakaran was called today for questioning at 5pm at the Crime Branch Inter State Cell office in Chanakyapuri and was arrested around midnight, Praveer Ranjan, joint commissioner of police (crime), said.
His longtime friend Mallikarjuna has also been arrested after being quizzed for the second day on the trot, he said.
Mallikarjuna had been accompanying Dhinakaran everywhere ever since
Sukesh Chandrsekar , the middleman in the
EC bribery case, was arrested, police said.
Dhinakaran had on Monday confessed to meeting Chandrsekar, assuming he was a high court judge.
