CHENNAI: The AIADMK has refuted claims that a bootlegger arrested in Kallakurichi was a party member.

In a statement issued by VP Sekar, the party’s Attur union secretary said that S Suresh alias Suresh Kumar, 40, who was arrested in a prohibition case had joined AIADMK after quitting DMK in 2018.

Because of his anti-party activities, he was expelled from the AIADMK.

Meanwhile, in a bid to divert attention of people from the issue of hooch tragedy, a fake message is being spread out that Suresh belonged to the AIADMK.
