Report on Siruthavur land grab submitted to CM

CHENNAI: Justice K P Sivasubramanian on Sunday submitted the inquiry
report on allegations of grabbing lands belonging to Dalits in
Siruthavur near here.
The 813-page report in two volumes was finalised after recording the
statements of 40 witnesses, former High Court judge Sivasubramanian
told reporters here.
The judge inquired the charges of land grab that allegedly involved
AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa and her friend Sasikala. A bungalow was
built allegedly on the vast tracts of land originally owned by the Adi
Dravidars and landless poor.
The State government appointed a Commission of Inquiry on July 27,
2006 to inquire into the causes and circumstances that resulted in the
fraudulent grabbing of lands from Dalits and landless poor of
Siruthavur village in Kancheepuram district.
The appointment of the Justice K P Sivasubramanian commission was the
outcome of several protests spearheaded by the CPM that was joined by
other parties.
In 1968, then Chief Minister Arignar Anna during the first tenure of
the DMK had given 53 acre of land to Dalits and landless poor in
Siruthavur village.
It was alleged that the bungalow in Siruthavur on the encroached land
was used by AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa.
