him to the isolation ward for treatment.

Earlier, four people in Andhra Pradesh Raj Bhavan tested +ive for Coronavirus. The Governor’s Chief Security Officer, a staff nurse and two attendants in the Raj Bhavan tested +ive for Coronavirus.

DulquerSalmaan insulted Tamil people.

The Trolls alleged that the scene in VaraneAvashyamund is an attack on LTTE leader VelupillaiPrabhakaran. Responding to this allegation, DulquerSalmaan wrote that it was 'not intentional' and requested the users to not 'drag our fathers and senior actors' in the abusive tweets.Finally DulquerSalmaan issued an apology on Twitter and wrote, “I apologise to all of the good and kind Tamil people who felt offended.
