The ruling AIADMK on Monday announced the expulsion of A. Thirumanavel, secretary of the party's traders cell for the Thoothukudi (west) district unit, following the police filing a case of abduction and murder of a youth against the functionary.
A few days ago, the police in the district booked the case against the party functionary and Harikrishnan, an inspector of the Thattarmadam police station in the Sattankulam police sub division.
A party release issued by O. Panneerselvam, coordinator-Deputy Chief Minister, and Edappadi K. Palaniswami, co-coordinator-Chief Minister, stated that the office-bearer had "violated the party discipline and brought disrepute to the party."
