Previous incident

Another DMK functionary assaulted staff of a restaurant

The incident comes close on the heels of a local DMK functionary and others assaulting the staff of a restaurant in Chennai on July 31. In that case, the group of men had attacked the staff after they told them that the restaurant was closed for the day and hence cannot give them food. Then too Stalin had suspended Yuvaraj and another person.
