Sidelined AIADMK leader T T V Dhinakaran today said a video purportedly showing former chief minister J Jayalalithaa in a hospital was a "private" one shot by her confidante V K Sasikala and claimed it was released by an aide without his knowledge.

Breaking his silence on the issue a day after the video was released by a loyalist, Dhinakaran claimed that top functionaries of the ruling AIADMK, including chief minister K Palaniswami, were aware of the existence of the video.
