**Madras High Court Hears Plea to Quash Charges Against AICC Secretary in Airport Incident**

**CHENNAI, September 19, 2025** – The Madras High Court is reviewing a petition filed by All India Congress Committee (AICC) national secretary S. Mayura Jayakumar seeking to quash a charge sheet filed against him by the Peelamedu police in Coimbatore. The charges stem from an alleged incident at Coimbatore airport on November 17, 2024, where Mr. Jayakumar is accused of abusing and issuing a death threat to fellow party member, P. Kovai Selvan.

According to Mr. Selvan’s police complaint, the incident occurred when he was at the airport to greet AICC general secretary K.C. Venugopal. Mr. Selvan claims Mr. Jayakumar and his supporters attempted to attack him upon exiting the airport, hurling abuse and death threats, before airport security intervened.

Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Mr. Jayakumar and two others under Sections 351(2) and 296(b) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and subsequently filed a charge sheet.

Mr. Jayakumar’s petition argues that the charge sheet was filed without proper investigation and that the allegations are exaggerated. His counsel argued in court that it was merely an ordinary quarrel between party members.

Justice N. Sathish Kumar has ordered notices to be served to both the police and the complainant, Mr. Selvan, seeking their response by October 10. The court has also dispensed with Mr. Jayakumar’s personal appearance before the trial court until further notice.

The High Court judge, after considering the alleged language used by the petitioner, opted to fully investigate the case before issuing the order. The case remains under review.
