A supporter of AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa on Monday crucified himself to demand her leader’s return as Tamil Nadu chief minister.
Shihan Hussaini, who said he was a Karate expert, crucified himself on a wooden cross as dozens of AIADMK workers watched. A video shows Hussaini’s aides digging 6-inch nails into his hands and feet.
Hussaini, writhing in pain, remained hanging from the cross for more than six minutes.
Jayalalithaa quit her office last year after she was arrested and jailed in a corruption case. She was replaced by loyalist O Paneerselvam.
