Former DK DC Sasikant Senthil is Congress candidate from Tiruvallur
Chennai: Former IAS officer Sasikanth Senthil, renowned for his strategic prowess in crafting election campaigns for the Congress party in Karnataka and Rajasthan, has embarked on a new endeavor in his home state of Tamil Nadu. Senthil, who resigned from the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) in 2019 while serving as the deputy commissioner in the sensitive Dakshin Karnataka region, has been announced as the Congress party candidate for the Tiruvallur Parliamentary constituency in Tamil Nadu.
A member of the 2009 Karnataka cadre, Senthil has garnered attention for his vocal opposition to the Narendra Modi-led BJP government and its Hindutva agenda. He gained prominence for his adept handling of the election strategy during the previous Assembly polls in Karnataka, where he contributed to the successful campaigns of Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar.
Now, Senthil will apply his expertise to his own political campaign in the semi-urban Tiruvallur constituency, gearing up for the Lok Sabha polls scheduled for April 19.

Suicide abetment case: Accused who assaulted Latur man, called him Pakistani still at large
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (PTI): Police teams have been formed to apprehend the man who allegedly called a Latur resident "Pakistani" and assaulted him, an official said on Monday.
Amir Gafur Pathan (30), a resident of Latur city in central Maharashtra, allegedly hanged himself on the evening of May 4. His wife claimed that an unidentified person had accused him of being "Pakistani" and assaulted him a day before the incident.
Based on a complaint, the police have registered a case of abetment to suicide and criminal intimidation under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the official said.
"We are searching for the accused, and the police have sent teams to apprehend him," he said.
The deceased man's wife, Samrin Amir Pathan, who works as a deputy manager with a private bank in neighbouring Dharashiv, has stated in her complaint that he usually picked her up on a scooter when she returned by bus in the evening.
On May 3, when she got down in Latur city and called her husband, she overheard Pathan pleading with someone, asking the other person not to hit him.
Later, she found Pathan at Samvidhan Chowk with his shirt torn, she said in the complaint.
He told her that while he was waiting for her, an unknown person alighted a car, accused him of being from Kashmir and Pakistan, and assaulted him, the woman said.
The assailant claimed to be a journalist and threatened to make her husband's photos and videos viral on social media while labelling him as a Pakistani national, the woman further claimed.
