Chennai: MLA Karunas booked for controversial remarks
Chennai: Actor and politician Karunas was booked by the city police for making controversial remarks in a speech he made on Monday.
This comes hours after he 'expressed regret' for his statements. "I only pointed out that certain media houses are making mistakes. I didn't speak against any community... I express my deep regret if whatever I spoke in anger over what has happened has hurt anyone. I will make sure it doesn't happen again. As far as I am concerned, I only spoke about the demands of my community. It is not my intention to demean and speak ill of others," he said.
Nungambakkam police registered a case against Karunas under six different sections including criminal conspiracy, promoting enmity, promoting disharmony, attempt to murder and issuing death threats.
