Jayalalithaa was admitted to the hospital on September 22, 2016 and died on December 5 that year. Amrutha had approached the High Court for an order for DNA test to prove that she was Jayalalithaa’s daughter. The court had asked Apollo Hospital to file a report as to whether it has the blood samples of Jayalalithaa. (IANS)
