Earlier, speaking to the media personnel who had gathered at the court premises when he was produced there, Vasan raised several questions about the charges against him and sought justice.

If he was accused of being bad influence on the people, what about government-run Tasmac liquor shops that dot public space in Tamil Nadu, he asked. “Don’t they get spoiled by seeing the liquor shops? There are so many people who ride without helmets. Drunk drivers are charged with drunk driving. Why am I the only one charged with murder? I need justice,” he said, before being taken away by the police officials who brought him to the court.
