Jaya acquitted: Here is what the Sri Lankan media said

Bengaluru, May 11: Former Tamil Nadu chief minister Jayalalithaa along with four others were on Monday acquitted by the Karnataka High Court in the 18-year-old disproportionate assets case. She was convicted by a special court in Bengaluru on September 27 last year. [Follow updates on Jayalalithaa verdict]

The media in Sri Lanka carried the news as soon as the verdict came out. Jayalalithaa, who is expected to become the chief minister of Tamil Nadu any time soon, is known for her strong anti-Lanka sentiments over the issue of ethnic Tamils who have faced difficulties under the Sinhalese establishment in the island nation.
