Chennai, April 16 (IANS) It was a short-lived enjoyment for a 29-year-old man and his friend after they cooked and consumed what they called the “Corona Virundhu” (‘Corona Feast’) in Tamil Nadu’s Thanjavur district, police said on Thursday.
“On Wednesday, a couple of people assembled on the outskirts of Kabisthalam, cooked and ate food, sitting in close quarters when the Covid-19 lockdown was in force,” a police official told IANS.
He said the matter came to light as the event was uploaded on Facebook and a police complaint was lodged by the Village Administrative Officer.
Police said the 29-year-old Sivaguru, who was earlier working in Tiruppur and had come to the district two months back, was arrested in this connection.
