The Supreme Court granted former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa a Diwali bonanza by freeing her on interim bail and suspending the conviction of the Bengaluru special court of a four-year jail term. Jayalalithaa will leave Bengaluru prison shortly and reach Chennai on Oct 18, along with her close aides Sasikala, V N Sudhagaran and J Ilavarasi, who were also granted bail.
