Chennai: Hitting out at the Kanchi Seer Jayendra Saraswathi and other accused in the Sankararaman murder case for filing bail pleas, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Sunday charged them with resorting to such measures for 'stalling' the investigation.

"The accused in the case, with a view to stalling the investigation, resorted to frequent filing of bail petitions from forum to forum," she said in a statement.

"For days together, endless arguments are being carried on and wasteful advertisements are being released. Slanderous news is being published about the investigating officers so as to frustrate their efforts and deflect investigation," Jayalalithaa said.

"Attempts are being made to negate the confessional statements recorded by the court and public meetings are being held so as to misdirect and delay the investigation," she said.
