Viral Video: DMK MP A Raja had escaped unhurt on 4 May when a stage light installed near the dias from where he was speaking collapsed on his microphone during an event in Tamil Nadu’s Mayiladuthurai.
A video of the incident has since gone viral on social media.
The event was organised by the Dravida Munnetra Kazagham (DMK) to celebrate Chief Minister MK Stalin’s birthday and the party’s legal victory in the Governor issue, news reports said.
However, the matter took a dramatic turn when the heavy stage light mounted on a steel rod toppled due to strong winds while Raja, former union minister, was delivering a speech.
