A few days ago, a violent altercation occurred at the office of Kamal Haasan, a construction business owner. A resident of Kamakoti Nagar in Pallikaranai, Kamal Haasan is said to have constructed a building in that locality and has an office in the same building.
Selvakumar, reportedly a member of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), allegedly demanded that he be given two flats from that building. Since Haasan refused, Selvakumar, accompanied by several associates, allegedly attacked Kamal Haasan in his office.
According to Kamal Haasan’s complaint, Selvakumar and his group launched an unprovoked attack on him. Acting on the complaint, the local police have registered a case against Selvakumar and initiated an investigation into the incident.
Haasan also shared a video documenting the incident. He said, “I bought this land and built a building here between 2008 and 2010. A person by name Sudarshan bought a flat from me. A person named Selvakumar who was the Secretary of State of VCK put forth an agreement and is living there. I am not sure if he is in that post now. He doesn’t have ownership in his name. Neighbours have complained that he along with his people were drinking alcohol in the terrace. I did not take any action. We were enduring it. Then he put up a shed in the terrace. I tried to stop them from doing that. But despite my raising objection, they have put up the shed. When my staff went to take pictures of the shed, they assaulted my staff and around 6-7 people who were drinking there, they came down and assaulted me, broke my teeth, and damaged my office.”
