A serious complaint has been filed against popular actor
Soori
's brother, Lakshmanan, by
Muthuchamy
, a local printing press owner in
Madurai
. Muthuchamy, who runs a printing shop near Soori's family-run restaurant in the Narimedu area, approached the Madurai District Collector with a detailed petition.
He accused Lakshmanan of repeated misconduct, including encroachment, causing public nuisance, and even issuing threats to his life.
Public obstruction and escalating tensions
According to Muthuchamy, Lakshmanan has been running the restaurant directly below his printing shop and has illegally occupied a shared pathway, blocking access with delivery vehicles. As per One India, this obstruction has reportedly created significant difficulties not only for his business but also for the general public.
The area houses more than 10 schools, and blocked roads have hindered school transport and even emergency services like ambulances.
These issues have led to multiple verbal altercations between the two over time.
Allegations of theft and property dispute
In his complaint, Muthuchamy also alleged that Lakshmanan forcefully broke into his shop without permission, damaged the lock, and stole both cash and important documents.

He further claimed that Lakshmanan locked access to the upstairs portion of the building and even attempted to convince the property owner to evict the current tenant by offering extra money. These actions, according to Muthuchamy, amount to a pattern of harassment and coercion.
Plea for justice and actor Soori's involvement questioned
Addressing the media, Muthuchamy expressed his concern over whether Soori is aware of these incidents or if his brother is misusing the actor's name to act with impunity. He emphasized that he has no objection to the restaurant's operations but wants strict legal action against Lakshmanan's alleged misdeeds. 'I fear for my safety,' he said, 'and have submitted this complaint seeking justice and protection from further threats.

Pentagon watchdog investigates if staffers were asked to delete Hegseth's Signal messages

The Pentagon watchdog is looking into whether any of Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth's aides was asked to delete Signal messages that may have shared sensitive military information with a reporter, according to two people familiar with the investigation and documents reviewed by The Associated Press. The inspector general's request focuses on how information about the March 15 airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen was shared on the messaging app. This comes as Hegseth is scheduled to testify before Congress next week for the first time since his confirmation hearing. He is likely to face questions under oath not only about his handling of sensitive information but also the wider turmoil at the Pentagon following the departures of several senior aides and an internal investigation over information leaks. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Roteirizador Pathfind - O planejador de rotas mais completo do mercado Sistema TMS embarcador Saiba Mais Undo Hegseth already has faced questions over the installation of an unsecured internet line in his office that bypassed the Pentagon's security protocols and revelations that he shared details about the military strikes in multiple Signal chats. One of the chats included his wife and brother, while the other included President Donald Trump 's top national security officials and inadvertently included The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. Live Events Neither the Pentagon nor the inspector general's office immediately responded to Friday requests for comment on the investigation. Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories Besides finding out whether anyone was asked to delete Signal messages, the inspector general also is asking some past and current staffers who were with Hegseth on the day of the strikes who posted the information and who had access to his phone, according to the two people familiar with the investigation and the documents reviewed by the AP. The people were not authorised to discuss the investigation and spoke on the condition of anonymity. Democratic lawmakers and a small number of Republicans have said that the information Hegseth posted to the Signal chats before the military jets had reached their targets could have put those pilots' lives at risk and that for any lower-ranking members of the military it would have led to their firing. Hegseth has said none of the information was classified. Multiple current and former military officials have said there is no way details with that specificity, especially before a strike took place, would have been OK to be shared on an unsecured device. "I said repeatedly, nobody is texting war plans," Hegseth told Fox News Channel in April after reporting emerged about the chat that included his family members. "I look at war plans every day. What was shared over Signal then and now, however you characterise it, was informal, unclassified coordinations, for media coordinations and other things. That's what I've said from the beginning." Trump has made clear that Hegseth continues to have his support, saying during a Memorial Day speech at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia that the defence secretary "went through a lot" but "he's doing really well." Hegseth has limited his public engagements with the press since the Signal controversy. He has yet to hold a Pentagon press briefing, and his spokesman has briefed reporters there only once. The inspector general is investigating Hegseth at the request of the Republican chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Sen Roger Wicker of Mississippi, and the committee's top Democrat, Sen Jack Reed of Rhode Island. Signal is a publicly available app that provides encrypted communications, but it can be hacked and is not approved for carrying classified information. On March 14, one day before the strikes against the Houthis, the Defence Department cautioned personnel about the vulnerability of the app. Trump has said his administration targeted the Houthis over their "unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence and terrorism." He has noted the disruption Houthi attacks caused through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, key waterways for energy and cargo shipments between Asia and Europe through Egypt's Suez Canal. The Houthi rebels attacked more than 100 merchant vessels with missiles and drones, sinking two vessels and killing four sailors, between November 2023 until January this year. Their leadership described the attacks as aimed at ending the Israeli war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Sex, Power And A Medieval Murder: Priest's 1337 Death Mystery Finally Solved

A cold case in England appears to be solved after nearly 700 years. A research team from the Cambridge University Institute of Criminology's Medieval Murder Maps project did a comprehensive analysis of the priest John Forde 's murder case details. The priest was killed in May 1337 when some assailants slit his throat on a busy city street. The research team found that Mr Forde's murder was calculated and was an act of revenge by an elite woman. The Medieval Murder Maps project is a database of unnatural deaths in England during the 14th century. Manuel Eisner, who is a criminologist at the University of Cambridge, recently studied the details that can be termed as the reopening of the case after nearly seven centuries. Eisner, the study author, studied coroners' rolls and church archives for his research. The latest findings tell a tale of a gruesome murder - a medieval reality that looks like a Hollywood crime thriller. As per the findings, a woman named Ela Fitzpayne was accused of multiple affairs, including with Forde. She was punished with barefoot walks of shame across Salisbury Cathedral. She was also banned from wearing gold, pearls or precious stones. A large sum was asked to be paid to monastic orders. "We are looking at a murder commissioned by a leading figure of the English aristocracy. It is planned and cold-blooded, with a family member and close associates carrying it out, all of which suggests a revenge motive," said Manuel Eisner as quoted by Cambridge University. "Attempts to publicly humiliate Ela Fitzpayne may have been part of a political game, as the church used morality to stamp its authority on the nobility, with John Forde caught between masters," he said. What exactly happened? Eisner found in another record that Fitzpayne had even conspired with her husband and John Forde to lead a gang of extortionists. It happened around the time of these allegations. The gang is said to have raided a church priory and broken into buildings. They held livestock to ransom. As per Eisner, the Forde's murder could have been a show of strength in order to remind the clergy of the power of the nobility. The records suggest that Ela's lover Forde was a member of the crime gang, but ultimately became a part of her denouncement by the church, which could have been the reason behind his murder, with one of the killers recognised as Fitzpayne's brother. Two others were her recent servants. "Attempts to publicly humiliate Ela Fitzpayne may have been part of a political game, as the church used morality to stamp its authority on the nobility, with John Forde caught between masters," Eisner said. "Taken together, these records suggest a tale of shakedowns, sex and vengeance that expose tensions between the church and England's elites, culminating in the mafia-style assassination of a fallen man of god by a gang of medieval hitmen," Eisner added.
