Tamil Nadu: Deepa and Deepak Jayalalithaa’s heirs, masters of Rs 1,000 crore assets

The Madras high court on Wednesday declared former Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalithaa’s niece J Deepa and nephew J Deepak as “class-II legal heirs” entitled to inherit all her assets. The court suggested to the state government not to waste public money on converting her Poes Garden residence into a memorial, saying it could instead be made the CM’s official residence.
