In the complaint DMK IT wing’s deputy organiser, Austin Bennet claimed that the actor posted a ‘manipulated video’ and captioned that it was the culture of a foreign religion. It is being alleged that he posted the Tweet with an ulterior motive of tarnishing the image of Christianity and triggering hatred between different faiths to undermine the peace. Upon being asked by the police, Kannan appeared for an inquiry on Monday with his advocates.
As per the report by the leading daily, the Kollywood stunt master tried to leave the inquiry before it was over, for lunch claiming that he was diabetic. However, the police assured him that the food will be served to him in the office itself, while stating that he is not allowed to leave while in the middle of an inquiry.
