Of the seized assets, 10,500 saris, 750 pairs of slippers and 500 wine glasses are in a room on the first floor of the city civil court.
As the assets have to be guarded round the clock, four policemen are on
duty in shifts. The income tax department handed the assets to the
government in 2002 when the case was transferred from Tamil Nadu to
Karnataka.
Armed reserve force police said they don't know what's in the room.
The assets, kept in the treasury, includes 21.28kg of gold jewellery
worth Rs 3.5 crore, 1,250kg of silver articles worth Rs 3.12 crore,
diamonds worth Rs 2 crore and a silver sword "We can decide on them only after the SC gives its judgment," said Ponnanna.
After politician subramanian swamy filed a complaint in 1996, the case was transferred to Karnataka on jayalalitha's request as she feared she would not get a fair trial in TN under the DMK rule. A special court convicted her along with other accused and she was imprisoned in September 2014. The Karnataka high court overturned the trial court order in May 2015. The Karnataka government appealed to the supreme court
and the judgment is now pending.
