An AIADMK worker has named his newborn boy after the Karnataka High Court judge, Justice C R Kumaraswamy, who acquitted party chief Jayalalithaa in the disproportionate assets case on May 11.
The wife of the worker, Vijayakumar, a daily wage earner and resident of Ukkadam area, had delivered a boy a week ago.
The area AIADMK councillor Chandran had suggested that the parents name the child as Kumaraswamy, as a respect to the High Court Judge, who acquitted the former chief minister, party sources said.
The parents gave their consent and the child was named Kumaraswamy at a function attended by Chandran and some party workers last evening, they said.
