The Tamil Nadu BJP has suspended its state Other Backward Classes (OBC) wing leader Suriya Siva from his position for six months for making vulgar and abusive comments, and intimidating a woman leader heading the minorities wing. In the recorded audio of a phone conversation that went viral, Suriya Siva says he would send goons to hack Daisy Saran, and would cut off her genitals and throw them into the Marina beach. He also made vulgar sexual remarks.
