Tamil Nadu police have entered into a controversy after giving protection to history-sheeter, Naresh Babu during his marriage on Monday. Police were present in every nook and corner of the wedding hall after Naresh Babu was present on the stage with garland in hand.
The police version is that they had given him protection as a rival gang had plans to eliminate him during his wedding. Naresh Babu( 35) of Nadvarupettu had several criminal cases pending against him at Somangalam police station and on his wedding day, a rival gang was planning to kill him.
Police from Kancheepuram station were present in large numbers at the wedding hall and were seen frisking the guests who were arriving at the high-profile wedding.
Naresh Babu was alleged to be behind a recent beheading in the Somangalam police station limits a month ago and there was a death threat to him from the rival gang. He married a woman from Kodambakkam and was conducting his reception when police arrived on the scene and created obstacles even on the main road to the reception hall.
Police searched all vehicles that arrived at the hall and wanted to prevent any goon entering the hall in plain clothes and try and eliminate Naresh Babu.
Sources in the Police told BPNS that they had informed Naresh Babu that he winds up the celebrations before 10 pm and that bloodshed be avoided.
However, police said that no unwanted element was present in the wedding hall as police had taken the maximum precaution to prevent any untoward incident.
