Jayalalithaa's cardiac arrest alert had come only few hours after AIADMK had said that Amma (as Jayalalithaa is fondly called) will return home "soon" as an Aiims expert team has confirmed that she has completely recovered after over two months of hospitalisation.
Jayalalithaa was hospitalised on 22 September after she complained of fever and dehydration.
