Sivashankar, a PMK member living in Surappanayakan Chavadi, was attacked with a sickle by four assailants who then escaped. He was admitted in critical condition at Cuddalore Government Hospital and later succumbed to his injuries. The incident has sparked unrest in Cuddalore, and the police are actively pursuing the attackers.
The PMK founder Ramdoss tweeted condemning this violent act, says law and order in disarray under DMK rule. He tweeted, “Brutal Sickle attack on Cuddalore PMK member is condemnable; Law and Order in Disarray under DMK Rule”
In his tweet, he said “Shankar, a Pattali Makkal Katchi functionary from Surappanaicken Chavadi in Cuddalore district, was brutally attacked with a sickle by four men from the same area. This attack on a PMK member is condemnable. I wish Shankar, who is now in critical condition at JIPMER Hospital in Puducherry, a speedy recovery and return home. The negligence and inaction of the police are responsible for this attack.”
Three years ago, Shankar’s brother, Prabhu, was brutally murdered by locals. The killers had threatened Shankar, a key witness in the case, not to testify in court, and despite informing the police, no action was taken, nor was Shankar provided with security, leading to this attempted murder.”
He also added, “Recently, AIADMK functionary Pushpanathan was hacked to death in Cuddalore’s Vandipalayam area. Before people could recover from that shock, the attempt on Shankar’s life further highlights the failure of the Cuddalore district police. Despite these incidents, the police have downplayed the severity by stating that both Shankar and his attackers were Vanniyars.”
He said, “Political murders and assassination attempts have been rising across Tamil Nadu from Chennai to Tirunelveli in recent years. The Tamil Nadu government has not taken any steps to control them. Does Chief Minister MK Stalin know about these horrific incidents? I don’t know. The spate of murders and assassination attempts shows that the law-and-order situation in Tamil Nadu has completely collapsed. The Tamil Nadu government and the police need to wake up and take steps to maintain law and order. I urge them to punish those who tried to kill Shankar severely according to the law.”
