Makkal Needhi Maiam (MKM) chief Kamal Haasan's car was allegedly attacked by a young man late Sunday when the actor-politician was proceeding towards a hotel after campaigning in Kancheepuram for the upcoming elections in the state, a party leader said. Haasan was not injured in the incident though his vehicle’s windscreen was damaged.
MNM leader and retired IPS officer AG Mourya tweeted that his party chief’s car windscreen was damaged and the man who 'attempted to attack' Haasan was handed over to the police. Mourya said the party would not be scared by such elements. His tweet was retweeted by the official Twitter handle of Makkal Needhi Maiam.
The person allegedly tried to block his vehicle and banged the windowpane as he wanted to meet the actor.
Local television channels aired visuals of a young man, said to be the assailant, being taken away by police personnel for allegedly attacking Haasan's car.
The MNM cadres allegedly surrounded the man and in the resulting chaos, he was left bleeding from his mouth and nose. The police soon reached the spot and caught the youth and took him to the hospital for treatment. According to police, the person was drunk and wanted to see Kamal Haasan and hence tried to bang on the car window. Police officials could not be reached immediately for a comment.
Actor-turned politician Kamal Haasan would make his electoral debut, from MNM, contesting from Coimbatore South constituency in the April 6 Tamil Nadu assembly elections.
