The gang of six people had attacked the functionary near the party's office in what has been alleged as a dispute over seat allocation in the upcoming urban local body polls.

Our sources have revealed the behind-the-screen story of why the leaders had arrived at the decision of removing Navaneethakrishnan from the post of the Secretary of ADMK's advocate wing.

Shankar had been serving as the DMK's Secretary of the Thiruvottiyur West district. After the incident of attacking the engineer came to the light of the leadership, he was removed from the post of secretary.

The incident had shocked the authorities and after Shankar's conduct went to the notice of the party's leadership, the legislator is now been removed from the party's post.

In a video, Bhaskaran can be heard saying that he has been asking the Panchayat office several times to dangle the portrait of the Prime Minister.

The video has come as DMK's response to hit back at the expert committee of the Union Defence Ministry that rejected Tamil Nadu's tableau and questioned the Tamil freedom fighters.

Earlier this week, Tamil Nadu Minister SS Sivasankar has tested positive for Covid-19 for the second time in eight months.

He further asserted that his government will introduce more schemes to the Dharmapuri district in the coming days. 

DVAC officials are also been conducting raids at the residence of Pappireddipatti ADMK MLA Govindhasamy, who is a close associate of the former minister. 

Sivasankar, who is among the club of first time ministers, has taken to social media and said that he had contracted the pandemic and has mild symptoms.
