Video footage has emerged of AIADMK supremo VK Sasikala entering Bengaluru's Parappana Agrahara Central Prison in civilian clothes.

Sasikala has been in prison since she was convicted in a disproportionate assets case. 

The story was first reported by the Hindu newspaper which said the footage had been given to the anti-corruption bureau by the former DIG of Prisons D Roopa.

Roopa had recently alleged that Sasikala was getting special treatment inside prison. 

And that she had bribed higher-ups for the special treatment. 

The video -- of Sasikala walking into the jail's main entry area -- has raised questions of whether she was allowed to step out of prison and by whom.
