chennai sources stated one of the main accused in the death of the 23 year old techie Subhasri because of an illegal flex banner, former AIADMK councilor S Jayagopal, has been granted conditional bail by the madras High Court. Meanwhile the court granted bail to Jayagopal and his brother-in-law Meghanathan on monday and directed Jayagopal to pay Rs 25,000 each to the cancer Institute chennai and government Stanley Hospital for treatment of poor patients.
Furthermore the court also ordered Jayagopal to stay in madurai to avoid influencing witnesses, and appear in a police station there every day for signing, while Meghanathan has been told to sign his bail register in chennai till the duo receive their summons from Alandur court. Further in his bail petition, Jayagopal had accused the chennai police of having 'mechanically' added his name to the FIR with an 'ulterior motive.'
Perhaps he denied any role in the installation of illegal banners for his son's wedding one of these banners flew off the pole it was attached to, falling on Subhashri as she was riding her bike, leading to an accident with a lorry that was behind her and Subhashri died in the accident on september 12. Moreover two cases were registered against Jayagopal for putting up hoardings illegally without permission from the chennai Corporation.
