It was a dramatic event but low key in the execution. As the police entered heavily at Poes Garden, Chennai on the 6th of December morning, the occupant, the former Chief Minister and supremo of the AIADMK party was in morning prayer. Two and a half hours later at 9:45 AM J.Jayalalitha was formally arrested up by the police and produced before the city magistrate who ruled that she should be kept in judicial custody until the 21st of December. A year ago, an AIADMK minus Jayalalitha Jayaram seemed an impossibility. With the taking in of the former chief minister on December 7 in connection with the dubious purchase of 45,302 colour TV sets, the party will now have to learn to live without its leader. The TV purchase itself caused a loss of Rs 8.3 crore to the state exchequer. And with the CBI, CID and the Department of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption filing six other cases against her, lawyers see no immediate end to the legal wrangles that lie ahead of her. Meanwhile, her political equity, which was already on a downslide, has hit rock-bottom. While Jayalalitha’s taking in had seemed imminent in the last few weeks, she did her best to postpone the inevitable by approaching the courts. On December 6, however, Justice C. Shivappa dismissed all the seven anticipatory bail applications filed by the AIADMK chief. The strongly-worded judgement noted that since "the substratum of the case is that offences were perpetrated against the state and its economy, such offences being heinous in nature, it was not proper to grant anticipatory bail, which might have an effect of interference in the investigation. The charge is so serious that investigation had to be done in India and abroad. It would be virtually inapt to grant bail."
