PTI | 10:09 PM,Sep 11,2010
Ramanathapuram (TN), Sept 11 (PTI) Ten persons, including five police
personnel, were injured in a clash between two groups of Dalits during
a procession to pay homage to Immanuel Sekar, a Dalit leader, at
Paramakudi in the district on his death anniversary today. As the
procession reached Burma Colony locality, where backward Thevar
community people were living, the rallyists were asked not to burst
crackers. While one group of Dalits supported it, the other opposed,
resulting in a clash between them, police said. Police said one group,
loyal to Puthia Tamizhagam leader S Krishanswamy, damaged ten houses
in the locality. Five members of a family, including three children,
were injured in the violence. Two Sub-Inspectors and three constables
received serious cut injuries in the melee, they said. The violence
had erupted despite deployment of 1,500 policemen, led by six
superintendents of police, on security duty for the anniversary.
Earlier this morning, Tamil Nadu Minister Suba Thangavelan and DMK MP
Ritheesh Kumar paid homage at the samadhi of Immanuel Sekar. Police
reinforcements had been sent to the Paramakudi area where security had
been tightened further. The situation had been brought under control,
DIG of Police Amal Raj said. The injured had been hospitalised, police
said.
