A 40-year-old man, who allegedly beat up migrant labourers with a PVC pipe for not paying rent, has been arrested by the personnel from the Kundrathur police station after the video of the incident was shared on social media. The accused was identified as K. Sureshraj, 40, of Thirumudivakkam, who is a district functionary in the DMDK. He had rented out his houses to migrant labourers who work in industries. A few of his tenants had not paid rent for the past two months because they were unemployed due to the COVID-19 lockdown. The men were planning to leave to their native places this week.
