Who is Prawin Ganeshan? Why Tamil Nadu CEO was detained at Delhi airport after Hong Kong trip
Prawin Ganeshan was subsequently handed over to officers from the Delhi Police's IGI wing. He had been detained earlier on Saturday by the IGI police, as the Chennai Cyber Crime team had not yet arrived in Delhi.
Tamil Nadu-based Wintrack CEO Prawin Ganeshan was detained at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport due to a Look Out Circular (LOC) issued by the Chennai Cyber Crime Police. Ganeshan, who had been travelling from Hong Kong, claimed to have posted a defamatory tweet about Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay and actor Trisha Krishnan in June, which was subsequently deleted.
The Chennai Police produced him before a magistrate, who granted a transit warrant, allowing his detention in Delhi. Ganeshan's professional career spans various industries, including retail, import-export, logistics, pharmacy, and international trade.
