What is keeping Sasikala's aide Ilavarasi busy in jail? Reading hate letters

A simple imprisonment does not mandate a prisoner does work in jail. However this is what keeps Ilavarasi busy in jail.

Ilavarasi who along with Sasikala Natarajan was convicted in the disproportionate assets case has a new job to do at Central Prison, Parappana Agrahara, Bangalore 560100. Serving a simple imprisonment of four years, Ilavarasi has her hands tied as she screens the 100s of letters that Sasikala receives in jail.

At least six out of the 10 letters spew venom at Sasikala. Letters blaming her for the death of Jayalalithaa have become a norm. Ilavarasi, however, does not want all the letters to be read by Sasikala. She sorts them out carefully, screens them and only then passes it on to Sasikala.

Since Sasikala was sent to jail by the Supreme Court in February, she has been getting 100s of letters blaming her for the death of Jayalalithaa. All the letters written in Tamil call her as an ungrateful woman who backstabbed Jayalalithaa. The letters state that Jayalalithaa had no reason to die. One letter states that Sasikala had hatched a plan to murder Jayalalithaa. "She had no reason to die, it was a planned murder," the letter states.

"You are a back-stabber, you have killed our Amma and you will pay for this another letter states. Jayalalithaa had given you life and you betrayed her and you will pay for your sins," the letters state.

At first, she would read through most of the letters. However, now the job has been given to Ilavarasi. It is her job now to screen through all the letters and pass them on to Sasikala. Jail authorities say that not all letters are given to Sasikala. Ilavarasi only gives out select letters to her after screening them.
