Due to this there was a commotion in the Madurai airport complex. Airport security officials handed over the youth to the Avaniyapuram police. On investigation, the youth was Yogeswaran’s son Rajeswaran (42) from Vaiyapuripatti village next to Singampunari in Sivagangai district. It was revealed that he had come from Singapore to Madurai via Chennai. When no AIADMK member filed a complaint about the incident, the police kept the youth in a vehicle at the airport premises.
At that time, AMU members who came to Madurai airport in support of Rajeswaran got into an argument with the police to release him. The police released Rajeswaran in the evening after writing that he would cooperate with the investigation if a complaint was filed on behalf of the AIADMK. It is to be noted that Rajeswaran is the District Secretary of Amamukha’s Expatriate Welfare Division
