Chennai, Oct. 30 -- A businessman on Friday approached the Madras High Court to direct the Union Ministry of Home Affairs to immediately conduct a detailed, thorough and fair probe pertaining to the background and details of Yogesh Sharma alias Saurav Das, the National Co-Convenor of Cockroach Janata Party and his parents.

In his petition, Ganesh Kumar said that allegedly Das' lineage goes back to Nepal and that this has to be probed. If found true, "he cannot lecture about our government and our judiciary." He charged Das with "abusing" the judiciary.

If found guilty, the petitioner sought cancelling the passport and Aadhar card of Das.
