CHENNAI: Police today registered an FIR against the editor of Tamil bi-weekly 'Nakkeeran', a day after angry AIADMK workers attacked its office for publishing an article over party chief Jayalalithaa's eating habits.
The FIR was filed against the editor, Gopal, under different IPC sections, including 505 (publishing a report with an intent to incite), police said.
Armed AIADMK workers had allegedly attacked the office of the Tamil bi-weekly, apparently incensed over a report in it latest issue, which claimed 'Amma eats beef.' Jayalalithaa is referred to as 'Amma' (mother) by her party workers.

Meanwhile, Gopal said a complaint has been lodged with police over the attack.
