They registered false case against AIADMK functionary, he says
The police are functioning like a puppet of the DMK government and are foisting false cases against the AIADMK members in Coimbatore district, said former AIADMK Minister S.P. Velumani on Monday.
In a petition submitted to District Collector G.S. Sameeran and City Commissioner of Police Pradip Kumar, he alleged that the DMK had arranged “rowdies from Chennai, Karur and other States across Coimbatore district” ahead of the urban local bodies election. They had been attacking AIADMK cadre and threatening the voters.
Mr. Velumani said that on Sunday, the police “registered a false case” against an AIADMK functionary Kalyanasundaram, who had lodged a complaint against alleged distribution of gifts and cash to voters at Ward No. 90 in Kuniamuthur. The police treated him and eight others “without any dignity” by making them sit on the floor at Ramanathapuram police station, the petition claimed.
