"Punish The Wind": AIADMK Leader On Chennai Techie Killed By Hoarding | Read
In a bizarre statement, veteran Tamil Nadu politician C Ponnaiyan held the wind responsible for the tragic death of the Chennai software engineer who was killed last month after an illegally erected hoarding fell on her. Speaking to a local television channel, Mr Ponnaiyan claimed the person who erected the billboard could not be held responsible for the woman's death and said "... if anyone has to be booked, it's the wind". The hoarding had been erected by Jayagopal, a member of the ruling AIADMK, who was arrested three weeks later in Krishnagiri district, some 320 kilometres from Chennai.
