The alleged middleman in the TTV Dinakaran bribery case, Sukesh Chandrasekar is likely to be taken to Chennai. The crime branch police who are expected to meet Dinakaran on Wednesday evening are likely to take Sukesh along and bring the duo face to face.

Dinakaran, who was named in the first information report by the Delhi police is accused of colluding with Sukesh. The duo is accused of attempting to bribe the election commission to get a favourable verdict on the AIADMK two leaves symbol.

Dinakaran also added that he would join the probe if police direct him to do so.
