The case started in 2017 when Sukesh was arrested by Delhi Police's Crime Branch for allegedly arranging a deal with TTV Dhinakaran, who was a member of the AIADMK at the time.
Sukesh had assured Dhinakaran that if he paid Rs 50 crore, he would get the AIADMK's two-leaf symbol for his faction. Dhinakaran later co-founded the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam with his aunt VK Sasikala and currently serves as its general secretary.
