A special team, led by Kancheepuram Superintendent of Police, recently arrested a rowdy in Haryana.
The police said the accused was a close associate of Sridhar Dhanapalan, who had more than 40 criminal cases and committed suicide in Cambodia in 2017. His close associates, Dinesh Kumar and Thiyagu alias Thiiyagarajan, were vying with each other. Led by SP M. Sudhakar, the police intensified its efforts to nab the criminals in the district. A special team traced and nabbed Thiyagu, 33, who had jumped bail and been hiding in Haryana. He was wanted in 63 criminal cases, with charges, including murder, attempt to murder and extortion. He was brought to Kancheepuram and remanded in judicial custody.

Over the decades, the Anglo-Indian Grand Christmas Ball in Chennai has stepped into many venues, from Railway enclaves to private halls. It has left an indelible mark on some of these venues, Faiz Mahal and Shiraz Hall, both in Egmore, counted among them. This Christmas Day (December 25), Faiz Mahal is playing host to yet another Grand Christmas Ball. The soiree is organised by Anglo-Indians but by no means restricted to them. In these times of dwindling Anglo-Indian presence even in enclaves with a distinctive Anglo-Indian flavour, this event signifies an effort to preserve a cultural tradition that has enriched Chennai
