The Tamil Nadu government has imposed complete lockdown in Chennai, Kanchipuram, Tiruvallur and Chengalpattu districts till June 30. New cases are getting reported in large number every day.
Despite the prevailing situation, a DMK man named Gunasekar has celebrated his 50th birthday two days ago with a grand party attend by gang of goons and rowdies known for red sanders smuggling.
Gunasekar is a member of DMK General Council and the Vice President of Gummidipoondi Union Committee. He is said to be the right-hand man of DMK Thiruvallur North District Secretary Gummidipoondi Venu. Six years ago, he was sent to prison in a red sanders smuggling case.
He had celebrated his 50th birthday two days ago in a private garden near Tiruvallur attended by close to 500 people. They had made merry with hundreds of bottles of liquor, biryani, chicken, mutton and other items getting served. A grand cake cutting ceremony had also taken place.
It is said that many DMK men, including the son of DMK Thiruvallur Northern District Secretary Venu, had attended the grand birthday party. Considering that all restaurants and TASMAC shops are closed, question has arisen as to how hundreds of bottle of liquor were available to the gang.
Following this, Gunasekar had tested positive for corona virus and 15 other rowdies and DMK office bearers. People of the area are now shocked and reeling under the fear of contracting the virus.
Reports have mentioned that FIR has been lodged against 50 persons in the Arambakkam Police Station, Thiruvallur.
