Tamil comedian Senthil says news of his death is not a joke, files complaint

Madurai: After falling prey to WhatsApp trolls for the second time in a month, veteran Tamil actor Senthil is not in the mood to let go of the matter easily.

Senthil, who campaigned actively for AIADMK during the May 16 assembly polls, lodged a complaint with the City Police Commissioner seeking action against those who had spread rumours through social media and Whatsapp that he was dead.

The actor told reporters that he was upset over the message on Whatsapp. "Many people contacted me and informed me about the message that has spread to different areas," he said.

Senthil believes that a political party, which is not happy with the election result is spreading the rumour. He wants the police officials to take severe action against such rumour-mongers.
