Prosecution against former AIADMK MLA withdrawn after he apologises to CM, Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin

The Kallakurichi police have filed a final report before a judicial magistrate dropping all further action against AIADMK former MLA R. Kumaraguru since he had tendered a public apology for having used foul language against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and Sports Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin.

In the final report filed before Judicial Magistrate-I in Kallakurichi on Saturday, the investigating officer V. Ravichandran said, further prosecution was being dropped since the former MLA had conducted a public meet in the town to tender the apology as suggested by the Madras High Court.

On October 4, Justice G Jayachandran, while hearing an anticipatory bail petition filed by the former MLA, had refused to accept his contention that he had already tendered apology through social media platforms such Facebook and X (formerly, Twitter) and therefore there should not be any impediment in granting advance bail.
