HC quashes FIR against BJP men

The Madras High Court on Tuesday quashed a case booked against P. Saravanan, Madurai district president of the Bharatiya Janata Party, and 31 others for having allegedly prevented police from performing their duties when they attempted to arrest YouTuber Maridhas in Madurai on December 9, 2021.

Justice M.
