Husband spotted on TikTok

Now, what has come as a surprise is the presence of Suresh on TikTok. Recently, one of Jayapradha’s relatives was scrolling through the App, when she spotted a man who looked exactly like Suresh. In that video, Suresh was performing on a short skit with one of his transgender friend. Jayapradha's relative informed her about her husband’s video on the App. After looking at the video, Jayapradha confirmed that the man was her husband Suresh. She then rushed to the Villupuram Police Station and alerted the police officials, who then traced Suresh to Hosur with the help of a transgender person in Villupuram. The police found out that Suresh had been living with his mother in Hosur after disappearing from Villupuram.

Suresh confirmed that he fled away as he was not happy with some developments in his family life.

Ban on TikTok

Citing concerns of child safety, the Madras High Court had directed the State government to ban the App but the ban was removed after some time. Before this, Tamil Nadu’s MLA Thamimun Ansari had also sought a ban on the App due to its obscene content, to which the government had agreed. However, in reality, it was disclosed later that politicians were also upset about the number of videos on the App mocking them. On April 24, Madras HC lifted the ban on further downloads of TikTok. However, the ban was later lifted.
