Srividya’s brother suspects will is fake

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Actor Srividya’s brother M.L.V Sankar Raman has expressed doubts over the genuineness of her will in the possession of Mr Ganesh Kumar.

Mr Raman and his  wife Vijayalakshmi appeared on Thursday before Crime Branch SP Rajpal Meena and his team in the assets misappropriation case  against  Mr Ganesh Kumar.

In his statement,  Mr Sankar Raman, 63, alleged that even  nine years after Srividya’s death,  Mr Ganesh Kumar was  yet to probate her will. Mr Raman  even cast aspersions on the will which was prepared when Srividya was not keeping well.  

He was  suspicious  because Srividya’s  IT returns which were produced  when she was alive and what Mr Ganesh Kumar later produced did  not match. There were several discrepancies to be dug out by the investigating officials, he  told DC.

“I have a hunch that the will is not  genuine.  My sister  should not have died poor and her assets and properties are being enjoyed by Ganesh Kumar. Her aides, Sahadevan and his wife Sidhammal,  were given Rs 1 lakh each from Ganesh Kumar’s own pocket and packed off to some remote place the next day of her passing away. I understand that the aides’ adopted daughter was present when the will was signed by Srividya,”  he said.

Days before Srividya’s death, actor Kamal Haasan had given an interview to Tamil magazine Kumkumam and  criticised  the people close to her.  

The person who was bearing her medical expenses had denied proper medical care to her. Incidentally, former director of Regional Cancer Centre, Dr. M. Krishnan Nair, in his autobiography, without naming Ganesh Kumar,  had said that he was unwilling to buy the medicines though doctors had suggested that they  would improve her condition.
