Former AIADMK minister Jayakumar has been arrested by the Chennai Police for allegedly attacking a DMK worker during the urban local body election.
Former AIADMK minister Jayakumar was on Monday arrested by the Chennai Police based on a complaint filed by DMK cadre Naresh.
In his complaint, Naresh stated that he was surrounded by Jayakumar and several other AIADMK cadres when he went to vote during the urban local body election on Saturday.
Jayakumar and a few other AIADMK cadres did surround Naresh while he was on his way to vote. They had accused him of trying to vote in someone else's name.
A video of Naresh being attacked and Jayakumar ordering him to remove his shirt has also gone. Naresh was also paraded without a shirt by the AIADMK workers.
Jayakumar and others later conducted a road roko, alleging DMK was involved in booth capturing.
Naresh had then given an explanation stating that he went to the wrong booth.
He later filed a complaint with police against the AIADMK workers and Jayakumar.
