The DMK says it will file a Rs 1 crore defamation case against Tamil party TVK leaders linked to comments in connection with the R. Veeramani matter. Both outlets report that DMK has been granted permission by a court to begin defamation proceedings.
NDTV adds that the permission is granted by Justice K. Govindarajan Thilakavadi of the Madras High Court. The application is presented by DMK general secretary Duraimurugan. The case is directed at TVK leaders Aadhav Arjuna and CTR Nirmal Kumar, as well as TVK’s IT wing, according to the report. India Today similarly frames the decision as DMK’s move to proceed with a defamation suit seeking Rs 1 crore, but provides fewer procedural details.
Across both accounts, the core point is that DMK is taking legal action over alleged defamatory claims tied to the Veeramani case, after receiving court permission to initiate proceedings.
