Lexus car import case: Madras HC pronounces verdict for Sasikala’s husband Natarajan…
In July 2010, a special court of the Central Bureau of Investigation had sentenced Natarajan and three others including his nephew, to two years of rigorous imprisonment for allegedly causing a loss of Rs 1.62 crore to the exchequer.
According to the CBI, Natarajan, along with three others — his nephew V Bhaskaran, Yogesh Balakrishnan and Sujaritha Sundararajan — substituted the original sale invoice with a photocopy of an invoice fabricated by changing the vehicle’s manufacturing date to July 1993.
Today the Madras High Court upheld the two-year jail sentence for M Natarajan, the husband of jailed All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader VK Sasikala, in a 1994 case of duty evasion, report says.
Natarajan had imported a Lexus luxury car in 1994, and was accused of forging documents to show that it was a used car to evade import duty.
The accused had appealed against the conviction in the Madras High Court.
