Chennai: Police today registered an FIR against the editor of Tamil bi-weekly 'Nakkeeran', a day after angry AIADMK workers attacked its office for publishing an article on party chief Jayalalithaa's eating habits.
The FIR was filed against the editor, Gopal, under different IPC sections, including 505 (publishing a report with an intent to incite), police said.
Armed AIADMK workers had allegedly attacked the office of the Tamil bi-weekly, apparently incensed over a report in its latest issue, which claimed Chief Minister Jayalalithaa ate beef.
The party's organising secretary C Ponnaiyan had warned of legal action against the publication for carrying a "mischievous and malicious report aimed at maligning Jayalalithaa."
Meanwhile, Gopal said a complaint has been lodged with police over the attack.
