Chennai: A police case has been registered against former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister E Palaniswami and AIADMK MLA PR Senthilnathan for allegedly attacking a protesting passenger at Madurai airport.
The passenger allegedly shared a Facebook live stream in which he can be heard accusing EPS of "betraying" VK Sasikala, a close confidante of ex Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalitha.
The incident took place when EPS was travelling from Chennai to Madurai to attend a party meeting in Sivaganga district. When the former Chief Minister got on a shuttle bus at the airport, a man began recording him and the security personnel around him. He accused EPS of betraying Ms Sasikala and the people of southern Tamil Nadu by allotting 10.5 per cent reservation to the Vanniyar community.
