Police have arrested five Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers for throwing slippers at Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Palanivel Thiagarajan's car. The incident is from Madurai. Thiagarajan was in Madurai to pay homage to the martyr Rifleman D Lakshmanan, Rajouri of Jammu and Kashmir, when a BJP worker threw slippers at his car. A senior police officer said that all the five accused involved in the incident are BJP workers.

He is currently being arrested and the matter is being investigated. After all, on the question of why the accused did this, the police officer said that I cannot tell you much about it right now. Right now our investigation is going on, once the investigation is completed, I will be able to answer all your questions.

BJP workers had gathered here for the party's state chief K Annamalai. During this time this incident has been carried out. Talking to NDTV, a DMK official says that the place to pay tribute was filled with party workers of BJP. BJP state president K Annamalai also wanted to pay respect. The minister said that this would be a violation of protocol as only the nominated members including the collector should be a part of it.
