DMK Women Councilor Accused Of Inciting Assault During Local Katta Panchayat Over Land Dispute

A female DMK councilor is accused of local Katta Panchayat (Kangaroo court) who was supporting another woman in a land dispute issue currently in court. The video capturing the assault of victim has gone viral on the internet.

Raj, originally from 4th Street, Lions Town in Thoothukudi district, owned a two-cent plot in the same locality. Bills and local settlements were in his name until his passing, after which his wife Germany and her family continued living in the house. Recently, a dispute arose when Raj’s younger sister Brindal attempted to claim ownership of the property adjacent to Raj’s house, resulting in a legal case filed in Thoothukudi District Court. The initial ruling favored Raj’s side, prompting Brindal to appeal to the Madurai High Court.

During the pending legal proceedings, Brindal allegedly attempted to set up a drinking water facility without government permission near the 47th ward, facilitated by DMK woman councilor Rexilin. This led to objections from Germany, questioning the legality of installing pipelines while the property ownership remained unresolved. During the altercation, Germany entered the pit to resist, but Brindal allegedly assaulted her by grabbing her hair. The DMK councillor reportedly verbally abused Germany and incited the incident, resulting in her hospitalization at Thoothukudi Government Medical College.

Shirley, Germany’s daughter, accused DMK councilor Rexilin of instigating the incident, alleging corruption and unauthorized actions in providing services without proper documentation, despite the ongoing court case. Shirley called for police intervention and urged the Corporation Commissioner to address what she described as anarchy perpetrated by the DMK councilors.
