Chennai: DMK treasurer MK Stalin has been caught on camera slapping a passenger in the Chennai metro. The DMK leader's video that was shot on Wednesday has gone viral.
In the video, Stalin is seen slapping a man who reportedly is a party worker. The man was standing alongside Stalin when the leader smacked him in the face, gesturing at hime to move to a distance. The DMK has denied the charges against Stalin, saying he just gestured to the man to move away from the women who were seated.
