    A video of a group of men hurling abuses at police in Washermenpet on Tuesday night went viral on Thursday. The men in the video claimed themselves as the supporters of the local DMK councillor and the husband of the councillor was spotted along with the youngsters.

    Sources said police personnel Manivannan and Thyagarajan of Washermenpet station were on night patrol on Tuesday when they found a group of men chatting together on JP Koil Street at odd hours.

    While police questioned them, the men in return argued with the police which soon escalated into a wordy quarrel. The youngsters in the video alleged that it was the police who instigated the quarrel by calling names at the bystanders.
