Karunanidhi's Son Azhagiri Acquitted In Murder Case


CHITTOOR: M K Azhagiri, son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, was acquitted along with 12 others on Thursday, by a sessions court here in a case relating to the murder of a former DMK minister for want of reliable evidence.

Sessions Judge P Durga Prasad in a brief verdict observed that there was no reliable evidence to connect the accused with the murder of former minister T Kiruttinan. The judge said the detailed judgment would be pronounced on Friday.

Azhagiri, along with the other accused, was present in the court when the judgment was delivered amidst tight security.

A large contingent of DMK workers, who were present in the court, raised slogans in support of Azhagiri and Karunanidhi.
