A car bearing a DMK flag in the front and the words “My community will go before yours” on its windshield was found standing in the middle of a very busy road. Upon examination, it was found that the driver was fully drunk and had fallen asleep. The car stranded in the middle of the 100-foot road in Arumbakkam caused discomfort to other people travelling on the same road during busy hours of the day.
The Maruti Suzuki car was driven by a person named Simon from Pozhichalur in the Chengalpet district. He was found wearing a thick gold chain, bracelet, and rings on his fingers. When he was woken up by passersby and police, one could see he was so drunk, he could not even stand or sit straight for a few seconds.
The car was seen to have liquor bottles, bouquets, and loud Tamil music, and the driver Simon had pushed his seat back to comfortably fall asleep. The AC was running at high speed and so also the windshield wipers operating back and forth at full speed as if it were raining heavily. The car was in such a condition for 2 hours.
It so happened that Arumbakkam police station jeep was passing by and upon noticing the car stranded in the middle of the road, they approached it. Upon being woken up, Simon spoke derogatory and abusive words and pointed fingers at the police. Unable to reason with a drunk Simon, the police took the help of passers-by and pushed it to the corner of the road.
As Simon continued to use abusive words against the police, the Traffic police was alerted. However, even after an hour the Traffic police didn’t turn up, hence the Assistant Inspector of Police at the scene, Kannan, drove Simon’s car to the KH Police Station in Arumbakkam.
Simon was slapped with a drunken driving case by the police at the station and was fined ₹10,000.
It has been reported that Simon aka Y Simon Prabhu is a member of the Tamil Nadu De-Addiction and Psychiatric Centers Welfare Association (TNDPCWA) in Vanagaram.
