CHENNAI: Former AIADMK councillor, Jayagopal, who had placed the banner which led to the death of a 23-year-old techie, has been admitted in a private hospital. This comes exactly a day after the Pallikaranai police booked him for placing the banner without permission and were on a lookout for him.
S Jayagopal is also MGR Mandram Assistant Secretary (Kancheepuram East). He had erected the hoardings in Pallikaranai to announce his son’s wedding – an event which was attended by Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam.
