Chennai: In a major step closer to a merger of AIADMK factions, the Tamil Nadu Government today announced a probe by a retired High Court judge into the death of the late Chief Minister, J Jayalalithaa, over which suspicions were raised by the rebel camp.

Chief Minister K Palaniswami also announced that the late AIADMK supremo’s Poes Garden residence will be turned into a memorial.

The twin announcements have virtually cleared the decks for the merger of the factions led by Palaniswami and rebel leader O Panneerselvam as they meet two of the key demands of the latter.

After rebelling against the leadership of AIADMK general secretary VK Sasikala in February, Panneerselvam, a former CM, had raised suspicions over the circumstances surrounding Jaya’s death.
