New Delhi: A case has been filed against six people including AIADMK Interim General Secretary Edappadi Palaniswami for allegedly attacking a passenger who raised slogans against Palaniswami at Madurai airport, reported ANI.
NDTV reported that the passenger allegedly shared a Facebook live stream in which he could be heard accusing EPS of 'betraying' VK Sasikala, a close confidante of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalitha.
