At least seven BJP members suffered minor injuries.

The DMK activists went on rampage in several parts of Tamil Nadu. Several BJP flag posts have been damaged. Some DMK members also attacked the Hindu Munnani officeThe violence occurred in the wake of the reported remark of former BJP MP Ramvilas Vedanti that sought Karunanidhi's head.
