Dalit leader released, seeks probe by SC judge into firing
TNN | Sep 14, 2011, 05.20AM IST
TIRUNELVELI: As sporadic incidents of violence were reported from some
parts of southern Tamil Nadu on Tuesday, police released Tamizhaga
Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam founder P John Pandian, whose detention on
Sunday sparked violence at Paramakudi in Ramanathapuram district
leading to police firing in which seven people were killed.
Soon after his release, Pandian told reporters at Vallanadu in
Tuticorin district that the probe into the firing should be conducted
by a sitting Supreme Court judge. He alleged that the clashes were
instigated by certain officials with vested interests.
The Madras high court on Tuesday admitted a habeas corpus petition
alleging unauthorized detention of Pandian and issued notice to the
government. In Rajapalayam, an attempt was made to derail a train
while more than half a dozen buses were damaged by miscreants who
hurled kerosene and petrol-filled bottles at the vehicles in
Ramanathapuram and Theni districts. A concrete sleeper was found
placed across the railway track in the Murambu-Paraipatti section near
Rajapalayam. The presence of the sleeper was noticed only after the
Podhigai Express heading to Sankarankoil from Rajapalayam station
rammed into it around 8am and came to a screeching halt.
Fortunately, none was injured.
