Chennai: Stones were allegedly pelted at expelled AIADMK functionary and MLA Pala Karuppiah's house here and three persons have been arrested in this connection, police said on Saturday.
Karuppiah's house was allegedly pelted with stones resulting in damage to door panels and windscreen of his car late last night. The attackers also used filthy language abusing the expelled AIADMK functionary.
"Three persons have been arrested and a case has been filed against them under several sections of IPC including trespass, using filthy language, pelting stones and for causing damage," a police official said.
