DMK cadre assaults Biriyani shop owner with iron rod

A CCTV video of a hotel owner in Nungambakkam, Chennai being attacked by DMK cadre due to personal animosity has gone viral on social media.

Sulaiman has been running a Bismi biryani shop on Valluvar Kottam Highway, Nungambakkam, Chennai for the last 15 years. Abdul Rahim, a DMK cadre from Nungambakkam runs Rahman Biryani  hotel in the same area. Abdul Rahim, who opened his biriyani shop in March, named his hotel Bismi initially. The court had ordered that the biryani shop run by Abdul Rahim should not be named Bismi.

Enraged by the judgment, Adbul Rahim and his friends Zaaheer and Ameer came to Sulaiman’s shop on the night of the 18th and threatened to kill him. Abdul Rahim told Suleiman that he could not do anything as DMK is in power.

Sulaiman’s friend Abros who confronted Abdul and his friends was brutally assaulted by them with an iron rod. Then Abdul and his friends smashed Sulaiman’s car with the iron rod.

Nungambakkam police arrived on the scene, arrested DMK cadre Abdul Rahim and his companion Zaheer, and are on the hunt for Ameer, who managed to flee.
