The Supreme Court announced its verdict on the 20-year-old Disproportionate Assets case on Tuesday, 14 February. It has upheld the trial court's verdict and convicted the newly-elected AIADMK Secretary along with her aides and sentenced them four years in prison and fined Rs 10 crore each. The court has also ordered her to surrender immediately before the trial court. 

It also means Sasikala cannot contest elections for the next 10 years. However, she can reportedly take the case to a larger bench. Many celebrities have welcomed the development on Twitter. Below, we bring to you their reactions:
