Justice A Arumughaswamy, appointed by the Tamil Nadu government to inquire into the circumstances leading to the hospitalisation of late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, is likely to visit Poes Garden resident on Monday. The state government had on September 25 announced setting up of the inquiry commission headed by the retired High Court judge. Ever since Jayalalithaa's death, there has been an accusation of foul play in her death pointing fingers at VK Sasikala. The probe was a key demand of the then rebel AIADMK faction led by O Panneerselvam as a pre-condition for the merger of his camp with that of Chief Minister K Palaniswami. The two factions had merged on August 21 with Panneerselvam becoming the deputy chief minister.
