Joint Commissioner of Police for Chennai City East Disha Mittal too was shunted out, reportedly after traffic chaos following a protest by the Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party at Valluvar Kottam. The order issued by Chennai Director General of Police Shankar Jiwal did not state the reasons for the transfer. The DGP's order comes two days after chaos ensued in Rahman's concert 'Marakumma Nenjam' on Sunday, 10 September, which took place in ECR's Adityaram Palace City, after alleged mismanagement of crowd, resulting a stampede-like situation at the entrance.
