HC judge points to argument of recollection of 1972 speech, asks cops to submit full video

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ Chennai

The Madras High Court on Friday said the state police may be right in closing the complaints against former minister and DMK MLA K Ponmudy for allegedly denigrating Saivism, Vaishnavism and women with his remarks, if he was merely recollecting what was spoken in a meeting in 1972.

Justice N Sathish Kumar, while making the observation, directed the police to produce the full video of Ponmudy's speech at the meeting held on April 6, 2025, in which he made the remarks, along with the reports on the 1972 speech made by someone at a meeting, which the senior DMK leader was referring to in his speech.
