In a recent incident in Tamil Nadu, a man from Kanyakumari district has filed a formal complaint with Marthandam police alleging that he is being threatened with kidnapping and murder by the brother of a DMK minister, which has caused widespread shock.
Muthazhagan, who runs Tasmac bars in the area, stated in his complaint that Jayan Thangaraj, brother of Milk & Dairy Development Minister Mano Thangaraj, made these threats. Muthazhagan also claimed that Jayan Thangaraj had abducted another bar owner named Bensam and kept him confined in a house, leading to fears for his own safety. According to reports, Bensam and Muthazhagan were involved in a financial transaction related to acquiring rights to operate a bar from Zenith. Allegedly, after taking money, they backed out of the deal, prompting Zenith to inform Jayan Thangaraj about the situation regarding the promised rights. Subsequently, an audio recording purportedly capturing Jayan Thangaraj and Zenith discussing the abduction of Bensam in a car has gone viral in the social media.
In the recorded conversation between Jayan Thangaraj and Zenith, Jayan Thangaraj inquires, “How much money did you give to Muthazhagan regarding the bar matter?” to which Zenith responds, “I gave him 2/80 lakh rupees and some.”
Jayan Thangaraj asserts, “I will catch the two of them and get the money.” Zenith insists, “Get it brother, don’t leave even a penny. Even if I get less, it’s enough; I need to get admitted in the hospital.” Jayan then says, “I will put it.” Zenith urges, “Recover it all.” Jayan concludes, “Alright, I’ll call you later.” Zenith ends with, “Thrash his face.”
In response to this matter, DMK Minister for Milk and Dairy Development, Mano Thangaraj, clarified that appropriate action has been initiated based on the filed complaint. He emphasized that there is no association between himself and his brother Jayan Thangaraj in this issue.
