The ousted AIADMK leader was arrested on 25 April after four days of questioning by Delhi Police for allegedly attempting to bribe an EC official to get the undivided AIADMK's two-leaves election symbol.

His faction hoped to obtain the symbol for a by-election to the RK Nagar Assembly seat in Tamil Nadu, which was later cancelled by the EC.

Dinakaran was accused of allegedly arranging the amount from undisclosed sources and getting it transferred from Chennai to Delhi through illegal channels. He has been lodged in Tihar jail.
