While the AIADMK and BJP hit the streets on Thursday, and the saffron party alleged that the accused was a DMK office-bearer, Law Minister S Regupathi rejected the allegations as untrue. The accused, Gnanasekaran (37), a local biryani vendor, was booked under Section 63, 64 and 75 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), 2023.
