CHENNAI: The city police booked AIADMK’s North Chennai district secretary R S Rajesh for allegedly damaging public infrastructure in a recently inaugurated public park in Korukkupet.

The roadside park at the Manali road junction in Korukkupet was inaugurated on January 29.

On Sunday (February 1), Rajesh visited the park along with his supporters, including minor boys, and alleged that the infrastructure in the newly inaugurated park was substandard. He posted the video on social media.

After the video went viral, an assistant engineer with Greater Chennai Corporation filed a police complaint alleging that the AIADMK functionary damaged the infrastructure in the park and then spread misinformation.

The Kodungaiyur police have booked Rajesh and his accomplices under several sections, including the Tamil Nadu Property (Prevention of Damage and Loss) Act and are investigating.
