Tamil Nadu BJP president Nainar Nagenthiran has launched a strong criticism against the DMK government following the circulation of a viral video of allegedly selling illegal liquor that has sparked outrage across the state. The footage allegedly shows individuals openly purchasing illegal liquor using GPay on farmland in Mayiladuthurai. The incident surfaced shortly after the suspension of Sundaresan, Deputy Superintendent of Police of the District Prohibition Enforcement Wing.
Sundaresan, who had taken charge of the prohibition wing in November last year, had led a relentless campaign against illicit liquor trade. His tenure saw the closure of 23 unauthorized TASMAC outlets and the booking of over 1,200 offenders, leading to more than 700 arrests. His firm actions had earned him widespread public appreciation, prompting concerns that his suspension may be politically motivated and aimed at silencing honest enforcement.
Taking to his official X account, Nainar Nagenthiran posted a fiery response, stating, “A video has been released showing illicit liquor being sold in Mayiladuthurai immediately after the suspension of Sundaresan, the Deputy Superintendent of Police, District Prohibition Enforcement Wing. Did the @arivalayam government suspend an honest officer with false accusations specifically to facilitate such rampant illegal liquor sales with digital transactions in broad daylight, in public? Does Davidson Devasirvatham, Additional Director General of Police, aware of this illegal liquor trade?”
He went on to question the government’s motives, asked, “Today it’s black-market liquor sales, what’s next? Is it the grand opening of the 23 illegal bars that was shut down by Sundaresan? As long as this Dravidian Model government, which promotes social justice on stages but harasses honest police officers, secretly encourages illegal liquor sales, and aims only to destroy law and order, remains in power, there will be no bright future for Tamil Nadu!”
