While former Chief Minister and expelled AIADMK leader O. Panneerselvam filed his nomination with the Returning Officer as an Independent with the support of the BJP on Monday, four others with the same name and initial filed their papers the very next day.
Officials identified the four others as O. Panneerselvam, son of Ochappan of Mekilaarpuram in Madurai district; O. Panneerselvam, son of Oyyaram of Valantharavai in Ramanathapuram district; O. Panneerselvam, son of Ocha Thevar of Vagaikulam in Madurai district; and O. Panneerselvam, son of Oyya Thevar of Solai Alagupuram.
