An FIR was registered against BJP’s Aravakurichi candidate Annamalai on Friday, 2 April, for his recent speech against DMK’s Karur candidate Senthil Balaji, who is a former state minister.
The case has been registered at the Aravakurichi police station in Karur. At a recent election campaign, Annamalai allegedly threatened Senthil Balaji, stating that the DMK leader’s teeth will break if the ex-IPS officer thrashes him.
Based on his speech, a complaint was reportedly filed by the DMK with the police and an FIR was registered under sections 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC and Section 66 of the Information Technology Act.
