Bihar: Maulvi caught on camera doing obscene acts with a school girl, police launches investigation after video goes viral

A Maulvi (Muslim cleric) has been caught on camera doing obscene acts, forcing himself on a school girl and allegedly making sexual advances. Apparently, on 29 July, a video reportedly from Bihar’s Siwan district has gone viral on the internet. In the viral video, a Maulvi can be seen indulging in obscene acts and forcing himself on a school girl, presumably a minor. According to the information received, the obscene act caught in the video reportedly took place somewhere in Siwan’s Andar Thana area.

According to reports in local news media, the Maulvi caught on camera doing obscene acts with a girl student has been identified as Salauddin Ansari, a resident of Andar Bazar.

In the video, Maulvi is seen talking and touching the schoolgirl inappropriately while alarmingly the girl appears to be complicit and does not oppose Maulvi’s obscenity.

The viral video has galvanised the locals. They have also demanded that swift and strict action should be taken against the Maulvi preying on the school girl. They asserted that a new Maulvi is exploiting girls through black magic and sorcery. 

According to the information received by locals, a new Maulvi had recently arrived at the tomb of a Pir Baba in the Andar Thana area. The Maulvi does the work of exorcism claiming to remove evil spirits. As per locals, women and girl students pay a visit to the Maulvi to seek protection from evil forces. They come in the belief that the Maulvi through black magic and sorcery, runs a broom over their head to bless them. 

However, in the guise of blessing them, the Maulvi has been exploiting young girls for some time now. The locals added that the said girl student seen in the viral video came in contact with the Maulvi. It is said that for the last several days, he was doing these same heinous activities with the girl student. But this time, someone secretly recorded his obscene act on camera and made it viral on social media. 

Acknowledging the viral video, Andar station in-charge Kumar Vaibhav stated that information about some viral videos has been received. The case is being investigated. “The viral video is being investigated. Further action will be taken on the basis of the investigation report”, he was quoted saying in ETv Bharat.

Convert to Islam or be killed: Muslims warn a Hindu student after beating him for wearing tilak to school in Rajasthan’s Alwar, case registered

An instance of the thrashing of a Hindu boy on 27 July who attended a school in Rajasthan’s Alwar district for wearing a tilak (forehead mark) has come to light. He was reportedly assaulted by the Muslim students and then their family members at the institution. It has created an atmosphere of tension in the area. Police have registered a case against six people in the matter.

The issue took place at the Government Higher Secondary School in Chauma Village in the Alwar District. The controversy commenced on 25 July when Muslim pupils protested against the Hindu student for putting Tilak to school. The following day, several Hindu students reached the school sporting the sacred symbol and Muslim students opposed it again.

Afterwards, the principal attempted to persuade both sides through dialogue in view of the mounting uproar. He stated that no one should object to applying tilak. However, the matter didn’t die down there and erupted a second time on 27 July at around 9 in the morning.

Two pupils initially engaged in the dispute and later, a few more of them joined in. A Hindu boy in class eleven was intimidated by 7 or 8 Muslim students for donning tilak. Furthermore, the perpetrators made an attempt to remove the auspicious mark on his forehead.

He tried to complain to the principal when they surrounded him, took off his tilak and assaulted him brutally. When Yusuf Mev, a relative of one of the accused, learned of the unfolding events, he arrived at the institution, attacked the victim and fled from the spot. The latter has revealed that the offender and his family have threatened him and his family to embrace Islam. He has been asked to convert or he will be killed.

The occurrence that took place in the school has been reported by the boy’s family to the nearby Ramgarh police station. The police lodged a case against six people under sections 143, 323, 341, 506, and 295(a) of the Indian Penal Code based on his statement as well as the complaint.

According to the police, there are at present negotiations going on between the parties involved in the dispute. A heavy police force has been deployed in the village to prevent any rise in the conflict and tackle any situation.

In another similar situation, a girl was expelled from school for adorning a rudraksha along with tilak. The school management asked her to put a smaller tripund, but she refused. They claimed that she was vitiating the institution’s atmosphere. Moreover, she also passed remarks about pupils who practised other religions. The officials sought an inquiry and action against the school administration after learning about the dubious state of affairs.

‘Hire bulldozer from Yogi Adityanath’: Calcutta HC judge quips while hearing a case on illegal construction, ruffles many feathers in TMC

On Friday, July 28, Calcutta High Court Judge Abhijit Gangopadhyay suggested that the Kolkata Municipal Corporation could hire a bulldozer from Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s government. The remark was made while the court was hearing a case on illegal construction in Kolkata.

According to reports, the judge was hearing a plea of a woman seeking protection from some goon after she protested some illegal construction in her area. Her lawyer informed the court that she was so terrified that she is not being able to leave her house.

Reacting to this, the judge remarked that intimidation and bullying will not be tolerated in cases of illegal construction. Addressing the lawyer appearing for the Kolkata Municipal Corporation, judge Abhijit Gangopadhya said that they should borrow bulldozers from Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath if required.

The remark, according to sources close to the judge, was made in jest and nothing was put on record, however, it did not sit well with a few members of the ruling TMC in the state who lambasted the High Court judge, calling him ‘anti-TMC.’

“Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay wants publicity. He wants fame. The CPM has no role now. They are not in the race. That is why he is trying for the BJP. He doesn’t have any trust in the West Bengal BJP. He doesn’t believe in Sukanta Majumder or Suvendu Adhikari,” Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh said.

Accusing the judge of being anti-TMC, Ghosh further added, “If a bulldozer is required, the West Bengal government also has bulldozers. The (municipal) corporation also has bulldozers. He is blindly and genetically anti-TMC. Sometimes CPM, sometimes BJP. He doesn’t want any respect. He is not willing to take any respect.”

The TMC leader further claimed that women and Dalits were killed in Uttar Pradesh as a result of the Yogi government’s use of bulldozers.

The mayor of Kolkata, Firhad Hakim was also seemingly agitated by the remark made by the Kolkata HC judge. He said that the corporation will “never support any kind of illegal construction” and that it does not believe in the concept of bulldozing. “We believe in development,” he added.

BJP leader Shishir Bajoria also reacted to the judge’s remark and said, “It is very unfortunate that, once, it was said that what Bengal thinks today, India thinks tomorrow. But now Bengal is known for illegal work… Today it is very unfortunate that the Calcutta High Court has made the remark that if they don’t know how to restrict the illegal construction they have to hire bulldozers from Uttar Pradesh. This is so sad. The end of this government and Kolkata Municipal Corporation is near.”

He also criticised the TMC government in the state and the Kolkata Municipal Corporation, saying that “In the Kolkata Municipal Corporation, many things are illegal. Rather, nothing is in a straight way. The ruling party is doing this.”

Yogi’s bulldozer- a symbol of strong action against criminals

Under Yogi Adityanath’s rule in Uttar Pradesh, a bulldozer has emerged as a symbol of strong action against dreaded criminals and the land mafia nexus that was rampant before Yogi Adityanath took over as the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh.

The land mafia was, in fact, hand in glove with the political leaders and enjoyed the economic benefits of the illegal lands. Yogi’s government did not discriminate before taking action against any land mafia by his or her caste, creed, religion or colour. Gradually, demolishing illegal properties built by criminals in Uttar Pradesh using a bulldozer became the identity of Yogi Adityanath, earning him the nickname of Bulldozer Baba.

In Uttar Pradesh, dreaded criminals Mukhtar Ansari and Ateeq Ahmed’s properties were bulldozed then the properties of Vikas Dubey and Vijay Mishra were also bulldozed and confiscated. Likewise, the illegal properties of several other dreaded criminals were bulldozed.

In May this year, the Kanpur Municipal Corporation along with the district administration carried out a demolition drive against infamous gangster Mohammad Asif alias Pappu Smart and razed all his illegal properties to the ground.

According to the reports, Asif is one of the prominent gangsters in the state of Uttar Pradesh and several cases including that murder, loot, and extortion have been registered against him. The Kanpur Municipal Corporation rolled the bulldozer over the properties illegally owned by Asif, the video of which went viral over social media.

In fact, last year it was reported that under Yogi Adityanath’s government illegally encroached land worth Rs 3,954 Crore has been recovered by the government.

On Saturday, July 29, four men were killed and 13 severely injured due to electrocution during a Muharram procession in the Bokaro district of Jharkhand. The Tazia being carried in the procession collided with a high-tension electric wire resulting in a blast in Khetko village of Peterwar Block in Bokaro, killing four and causing burn injuries to thirteen people. The Tazia was en route from Dargah Mohalla to Karbala when the incident transpired.

As per reports, a battery exploded after coming in contact with the high-voltage wire through a Tazia, causing the fatalities.

Following the incident, all injured persons were immediately taken to the Bokaro Thermal DVC Hospital for treatment. Asif Raza, Enamul Rab, Ghulam Hussain, and Sajid Ansari were among the deceased. Meanwhile, some of the injured persons have been identified as Salahuddin Ansari, Ibrahim Ansari, Lal Mohammad Firdous Ansari, Mehtab Ansari, Arif Ansari, Shahbaz Ansari, Mojobil Ansari, and Saqib Ansari.

Out of the 13 injured, the condition of nine individuals was said to be critical.

According to Priyadarshi Alok, Superintendent of Police in Bokaro, the event occurred in Khetko hamlet, under the Petarwar Police Station borders, around 80 kilometres from the state capital Ranchi, when their holy banner, made of iron, came into contact with a live wire.

“The incident happened around 6 a.m. on Saturday as the participants were getting ready for a Muharram procession. They were carrying a religious flag on an iron pole. Somehow, it came in contact with a high-tension electric wire carrying 11,000 volts,” the SP said.

According to SP Alok, all of the injured people were brought to a local hospital. Eight of them were sent to the Bokaro General Hospital, where four died from their injuries and three were said to be in critical condition.

Karnataka: Congress leader Priyank Kharge makes gaumutra jibe, once popularised by Pulwama suicide bomber, to settle political score

On Friday (July 28) night, Karnataka IT Minister Priyank Kharge courted controversy for making the derogatory, Hinduphobic ‘gaumutra’ during a Twitter spat with columnist and author Chakravarti Sulibele.

Sullibele took to Twitter to point out the arrest of a BJP worker named Shakunthala HS for merely questioning Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah over the infamous ‘Udupi washroom case’.

“Prank Kharge and team is highly active in Karnataka. You speak against CM you will end up in jail. Now they have arrested @ShakunthalaHS a BJP worker for posting against ‘Prank’ remark of congress leaders. If this is not #HitlerSarkara then what it is?” he questioned.

An enraged Priyank Kharge, who happens to be the son of Congress President Priyank Khargem went on to make ‘gaumutra’ jibe to settle scores with author Chakravarti Sulibele. In a tweet, he said, “Enough pranks have been played on the youth of Karnataka by you. Forget the prank, let us be frank.”

“Answer the following for your misguided fans: How many more Paresh Meshtas will you claim with your lies? Why so silent on his CBI report? How come you never are in the forefront wearing the Kesari shawl & protesting, allowing only young innocent people to lead?” Kharge continued.

“Why are you limiting yourself as YouTuber & motivator? when will you stand for an election, win & save the youth Karnataka? Instead of using poor backward & dalit youngsters, when will you inspire BJP leaders children to join you to protect religion? How many cows (Gowmatas) have you adopted in BJP Govt’s “Punya Koti Dattu Yojane”?” the Congress leader said.

“How many Gaushalas have you helped build through BJP/RSS funds? Do you drink Gau mutra daily & eat cow dung once in a while as suggested by colleagues?” Priyank Kharge made a casual Hinduphobic jibe.

“BTW, you are 100% right, Prank or Frank Kharge or any other Kharge & every Kannadiga will stand up to protect the integrity & future of our State & Constitution. You spread lies, misinformation & create harm in society Govt will tackle it by the book,” he further warned.

The ‘gaumutra’ jibe was popularised by Pulwama suicide bomber Adil Ahmed Dar in February 2019. He had recorded a video, dehumanising the Hindu community as ‘Hindustan ka Napak mushrikon‘ (impure idol worshippers of India) and ‘Gae ka Peshab Peene Walon’ (cow piss drinkers).

Since then, the term has been frequently used by the left-liberal ecosystem and Islamists to mock and berate the Hindus.

Son of Malikarjun Kharge tells cops to kick gaurakshaks

Earlier in June this year, Priyank Kharge asked police to crack down on ‘gau-rakshaks’ in the State. The development came days ahead of the Islamic festival of Eid-al-Adha (also known as Bakri-eid).

He claimed that transportation of cattle is being obstructed despite having valid documents, and asked police to take action in such cases. During a meeting with State police officials in Kalaburgi, Priyank Kharge directed, “Those who wear shawls, take the law into their own hands and say they are from these Dals (Bajrang Dal), kick them and put them behind bars.”

“If there’s anyone who’s a self-proclaimed leader and who spews venom in the name of communal issues, then action should be taken against them. I don’t want unnecessary communal riots,” he was quoted as saying.

“The law is very clear on the transportation of livestock. Be it within city limits or rural areas. If they have the right documents, don’t harass them,” Priyank Kharge was quoted as saying.

Although the contentious statement was made a few days earlier, the video of his speech went viral on June 24, 2023. Social media users did not mince any words before lambasting the Congress Minister.

ATS chargesheet reveals DRDO scientist expressed willingness to share classified missile info with Pakistani agent ‘Zara’, sparks security concerns

ATS chargesheet reveals DRDO scientist expressed willingness to share classified missile info with Pakistani agent ‘Zara’, sparks security concerns

According to the investigation conducted by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) into the DRDO espionage case, it has come to light that scientist Pradeep Kurulkar expressed his intention to show a “highly classified” report on the BrahMos missile project to a female Pakistani Intelligence Operative (PIO) using the name “Zara Dasgupta” during a personal meeting.

Pradeep Kurulkar, aged 59 and the head of DRDO’s Research and Development Establishment (Engineers) or R&D (E) laboratory, was arrested on May 3 by the ATS. He was detained under relevant sections of the Official Secrets Act (OSA) pertaining to charges of spying and engaging in wrongful communication with the female PIO in a suspected honey trap case.

As per the ATS’s findings, the wanted accused, known as the PIO, initiated contact with Kurulkar on WhatsApp, posing as a UK-based software engineer named Zara. Using explicit messages, voice, and video calls, she lured Kurulkar into engaging in multiple conversations with her from June 10, 2022, to February 24, 2023.

ATS alleges that Zara’s motive was to extract confidential information from Kurulkar regarding various DRDO and defence projects in India. Kurulkar, seemingly attracted to her, is accused of misusing his position to share this sensitive information.

During their investigation, ATS obtained the WhatsApp chats between Kurulkar and Zara, which form a substantial part of the chargesheet comprising six volumes and a staggering 1,837 pages. This chargesheet has been filed before a special court in Pune, detailing the evidence against the accused parties.

According to the details mentioned in the chargesheet, Kurulkar and Zara engaged in discussions about the BrahMos missile project from October 19, 2022, to October 28, 2022. During their exchange, Zara inquired if Kurulkar was involved in inventing the BrahMos, referring to it as the “dangerous one.”

In response, Kurulkar revealed that he possessed an initial design report comprising around 186 A4 size pages covering all versions of the BrahMos missile. However, he expressed reluctance to share the report via WhatsApp or email due to its highly classified nature. Instead, he proposed to trace and keep it ready for presentation when they met in person, suggesting a willingness to show it to her during their personal meeting.

As highlighted in the chargesheet, the ATS specifically referenced a chat dated October 28, 2022, wherein Kurulkar acknowledged the highly confidential nature of the information. Despite being fully aware that such sensitive details should not be shared over WhatsApp and email, Kurulkar informed Zara that he would present the information to her during their in-person meeting.

As per the information presented in the chargesheet, the WhatsApp conversations between Kurulkar and Zara extended beyond the BrahMos missile project. They also discussed various other sensitive topics related to DRDO. These included the Agni 6 missile, Rustom (a medium-altitude long-endurance unmanned air vehicle), Surface to Air Missiles (SAM), Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAV), and Drone projects.

Furthermore, their discussions covered additional subjects such as the Quadcopter, DRDO duty chart, Meteor missile, Rafael, Akash, and Astra missile. Notably, the chargesheet also mentions references to a private Indian defence company executive who is a DRDO vendor and specializes in developing “robotic equipment” for the Indian armed forces.

In addition to the WhatsApp chats, the ATS has submitted “confidential” documents related to the investigation in a sealed envelope to the court. During a recent hearing, Pradeep Kurulkar’s lawyer, Rishikesh Ganu, filed an application requesting copies of these “confidential” documents to prepare the defence.

Furthermore, the chargesheet reveals that Kurulkar added Zara to a “WhatsApp broadcast group” called “Happy Morning.” In the course of their conversations, it is alleged that he shared the names of two DRDO scientists with her. As part of the investigation, the ATS has also taken statements from these two scientists.

The charge sheet contains WhatsApp chats related to the “Quadcopter” topic. Zara watched a video and informed Kurulkar that she tried to spot him in the footage, but it mainly featured navy personnel and foreigners. In response, Kurulkar clarified that he was behind the quadcopter during the video, and it was captured from the flying direction.

During the same conversation, Zara expressed that it was the first time she saw someone sitting in a quadcopter and inquired about its potential dangers. Kurulkar assured her that they conduct extensive testing before deploying it in the field and mentioned that the project was currently in the testing phase.

In another chat, Kurulkar discussed the “Agni 6 missing launcher” and claimed that he designed it, and it had been a significant success. When Zara asked about the testing schedule for Agni 6, Kurulkar replied that it would be tested during the Night Fire and asked her to be patient. Additionally, the chargesheet reveals that Kurulkar shared details about several agreements between India and other countries in separate conversations with Zara.

Pradeep Kurulkar, a 59-year-old scientist employed at a defence research and development organisation laboratory in Pune, was arrested on allegations of spying and providing security-sensitive material to a purported female Pakistani intelligence operative. He is charged with violations of the Official Secrets Act (of 1923) sections 3 (spying) and 5 (wrongful transmission of information).

Honey trapping is a strategy in espionage where an agent cultivates a relationship with a civilian in order to exploit their trust or gain access to confidential information.

Uttar Pradesh: Tension prevails in Sonbhadra’s Robertsganj after calf carcass found near Hanuman temple

After a cow calf’s body was discovered close to a Hanuman temple on the evening of 28 July, tensions reportedly ran high in Sonbhadra’s Robertsganj neighbourhood in Uttar Pradesh. Realising the gravity of the situation, many police personnel reached the location immediately to control the critical situation.

The Additional Superintendent of Police, Kalu Singh also arrived at the scene as soon as he received the information and took charge. A complaint has been filed, according to the senior official, who assured that the guilty would face harsh punishment.

He further added that the procedure for filing a First Information Report is being undertaken by accepting an application in this regard, following which subsequent action would be implemented.

He stated that it’s possible that the act was carried out to poison the atmosphere because Muharram would be observed on 29 July. Police informed that the nine-month-old calf’s body had been retrieved from the empty space behind the temple where it was spotted.

The authorities have begun looking into how the animal carcass ended up near the holy place. They are trying to identify whether the crime was committed at the scene itself or was a dead animal brought and dumped there. People were furious when they noticed the cattle’s remains behind the temple and they quickly called the local police to look into the matter.

The members of Hindu organisations also reached the spot and slogans were raised leading to a heated atmosphere. However, the police present there tried to talk to people in an effort to placate them.

The temple was purified and CCTV footage from the area is also been examined. Police are also conducting night raids to catch the perpetrators, but no one has been arrested till now.

According to a TV9 report, the 17-year-old girl was going to Pakistan to meet her friend who has been identified as Aslam Lahori. Ghazal reportedly met Aslam on Instagram and their friendship developed from there. Moreover, Ghazal Parveen was reportedly brainwashed by Aslam Lahori who trained her on how to answer questions during the inquiry at the airport. Ghazal told the airport security that she is a Pakistani and came to India there years ago from Islamabad along with her aunt. However, after having a dispute with her aunt, she now wants to go back to Pakistan. Upon questioning it was found that the girl is a resident of Shrimadhopur in Sikar. 

After questioning the girl, her mobile phone was also checked by the officials who found that she was in touch with the Pakistani boy Aslam Lahori. The Pakistani boy had brainwashed Ghazal and some of her friends as well. Meanwhile, police have confiscated the said mobile phone and are investigating the matter. 

According to Airport Station Officer Digpal Singh, the girl, a resident of Sikar’s Shrimadhopur, lacked the necessary documentation for travelling abroad. He further stated that there is no direct flight from Jaipur to Pakistan. Officer Singh said that the girl’s family had been notified and that she would be handed over to them.

This comes days after it was reported that an Indian woman Anju travelled to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan to meet her lover, 29-year-old Nasrullah, from Upper Dir. They met on Facebook four years ago and started liking each other soon. During questioning by Pakistani authorities, Anju claimed that she could not live without Nasrullah.

Uttar Pradesh: Maulana brutally beats 7-year-old boy in madarsa over minor issue, throws him out at midnight, case registered in Rampur

On Friday, 28th July 2023, a horrifying incident of child abuse came to light from Uttar Pradesh’s Rampur district when a seven-year-old boy, studying at a local madarsa, became the victim of a brutal assault by a maulana. The young child suffered physical injuries and was callously thrown out of the madrasa in the middle of the night.

The incident came to light after the innocent child’s father reported the abuse, leading the police to promptly register an FIR. Subsequently, the child underwent a medical examination to document the extent of the injuries inflicted upon him.

As per Jafar Khan, a resident of Mohalla Tanda Hurmatnagar, his son is enrolled at a madarsa situated in Mohalla Sahukara Raza Chowk in the town. Recently, the young boy took a book belonging to another child in the madarsa and kept it with him. Subsequently, an individual brought this matter to the attention of the madarsa teacher, Maulana Shoaib.

According to the allegations, the cleric, infuriated by the incident, took out his anger on the innocent child by tying his hands and subjecting him to brutal beatings. As a result of this ruthless treatment, the young child’s condition deteriorated, and his body bore visible marks of the violence inflicted upon him. Later that night, the cleric heartlessly expelled the child from the hostel, casting him out along with his belongings.

Throughout the night until midnight, the distraught child remained at the hostel gate, crying inconsolably. During this time, a passerby noticed him and approached to inquire about the reason for his distress. Upon learning about the incident from the innocent child, the concerned individual promptly informed the family about what had transpired. The father of this kid then registered a complaint based on which the police filed an FIR. The police are taking further action in this case against the maulana.

Tamil Nadu police arrest political analyst Badri Seshadri, BJP leader Annamalai accuses DMK govt of vengeance

On Saturday (July 29) morning, publisher and political analyst Badri Seshadri was arrested by Tamil Nadu police. The development was confirmed by BJP Tamil Nadu member Karthik Gopinath on Twitter.

He had also shared a copy of the First Information Report (FIR), which said that Seshadri was booked under Indian Penal Code Sections 153 (provocation), 153A (promoting enmity between different groups) and 505 (public mischief).

In a tweet, Karthik Gopinath stated, “Breaking: Renowned publisher and analyst @bseshadri avl has been arrested today! Attaching the contents of FIR as received.”

In a tweet, BJP Tamil Nadu chief K Annamalai wrote, “@BJP4TamilNadu Strongly condemns the arrest of renowned publisher and stage speaker Mr. @bseshadri by the Tamil Nadu Police early this morning.”

“This corrupt DMK government is relying only on arrests without power to address the views of the common people. Is the Tamil Nadu Police’s job only to enforce the revenge measures of the corrupt DMK government?” he emphasised.

As per a report by CommuneMag, Badri Seshadri was arrested in connection to his comments on the Chief Justice of India (CJI) and Manipur violence.

“Yesterday, the Supreme Court like a big…I don’t know what word to say. ‘If you can’t do it (contain the violence), we will get down and do it.’ We should give a gun in the hand of Chandrachud (Chief Justice of India) and ask him to go there and do what he can to restore peace. Simply, talking anything without relation,” he had reportedly said.

“Can you (judiciary) enter into the realm of governance? What fault did you find in what is being done [by the government] there [to restore normalcy]? Two groups are fighting. It is a hilly terrain. A complex land. In that, a few murders will happen. Why did they fight? Could we have prevented the reason for the two groups fighting? It can’t be done easily,” Seshadri was quoted as saying.

BJP Tamil Nadu State Secretary arrested for criticising Communist MP

On June 16 night, BJP (Tamil Nadu) State Secretary SG Suryah was arrested by the cybercrime unit of Madurai police.

His arrest came days after he accused a Communist ward councillor named Viswanathan of being responsible for the death of a hygiene worker. SG Surya said that Vishwanathan compelled the deceased to clean a drain filled with faecal matter, which resulted in allergies and his eventual death.

The BJP leader had also written a strongly-worded letter to CPI(M) MP Su Venkatesan, complaining about the death of the worker and questioning his silence on the matter. It is believed that the tweet triggered the arrest of SG Suryah.

In his tweet on June 7 this year, the BJP State Secretary pointed out, “Madurai Pennadam town panchayat 12th ward councillor Viswanathan had forced the worker to undertake the job after which the worker got infected and died. The hypocritical politics of the MP stinks.”
