Chennai: A petition has been filed in the Madras High Court seeking to prevent the Tamil Nadu government from building a Jayalalithaa memorial at her burial site near the Marina Beach here or elsewhere.

Petitioner Thanthai Periyar Dravidar Kazhgaam (TPDK) opposed construction of a memorial for Jayalalithaa by the
government on the ground that she was the prime accused in the disproportionate wealth case in which Supreme Court recently convicted three co-accused.
