With his latest venture, Saravanan took the state by surprise by joining the chaotic and beleaguering ADMK by meeting the party's interim general secretary Edappadi Palaniswami.
In the midst of condolences from the DMK leaders including Chief Minister MK Stalin, Masthan's son filed a complaint with the Guduvancheri police after casting suspicions on his father's death.
As the voices to win a statehood grow in the territory, ADMK secretary Anbalagan had called for a one-day bandh and he planned to organize the strike on Wednesday - December 28.
Tamil Nadu's Opposition party ADMK is in more fragility in the wake of escalating divide between the two factions led by - Edappadi Palaniswami (EPS) and O Panneerselvam (OPS).
Though their leadership crisis is before the Supreme Court, the notice has further divided both the factions with giving no sight of political consensus.
Masthan had a political affiliation with the ADMK before joining DMK and he was elected to the Rajya Sabha from Tamil Nadu from an ADMK ticket. He served as an MP from 1995 to 2001.
