On 23 June 2024, Tamil Nadu BJP State Secretary Dr SG Suryah brought attention to a news article that accused the Tamil Nadu police of attempting to fabricate a story, only to be thwarted by the Puducherry police.
The news article describes a situation where the Tamil Nadu police attempted to fabricate a story, but the Puducherry police intervened in the Kallakurichi hooch tragedy. According to the report, the Tamil Nadu government claimed that methanol for producing illegal liquor was sourced from Puducherry. After seizing the remaining methanol, the Tamil Nadu police allegedly headed to the house of a suspect’s grandmother in Madukarai.
However, before they arrived, the Puducherry police had already started their investigation at the exact location, ensuring all CCTV cameras were directed at the house. When the Tamil Nadu police arrived with methanol cans, they were reportedly required to conduct their investigation under Puducherry police supervision. The article claimed that the Puducherry police presence thwarted Tamil Nadu police’s alleged plan to stage a discovery of methanol at the scene. Furthermore, the Puducherry police reportedly instructed the Tamil Nadu team to clarify the true source of the methanol and warned against falsely implicating Puducherry based on the Tamil Nadu government’s claims. The Puducherry police are also monitoring the CCTV footage around the suspect’s grandmother’s house.
SG Suryah shared this article and posted on X saying, “According to this news, Tamil Nadu police took methanol cans to a suspect’s house in Puducherry to shift blame on Kallakurichi hooch tragedy to Pondicherry state but vigilant Puducherry police broke DMK government’s cunning plan. Right time for Home Minister Amit Shah to intervene.”
For sharing this post on X, the CB-CID wing of Tamil Nadu police in Vizhuppuram sent summons to the BJP leader asking him to present himself on 20 July 2014 at the Vizhuppuram CB-CID office.
This is not the first time SG Suryah has been summoned by the Tamil Nadu police for his posts on social media platform X.
Earlier, he was arrested for an X post against Communist MP Su. Venkatesan in which he chastised the Communist party and the MP for turning a blind eye to the death of hygiene worker who was made to clean a sewer allegedly by a Communist councillor. While the incident happened in Cuddalore, Suryah had inadvertently shared it as Madurai which he later corrected.
The police had also summoned SG Suryah in another case involving The Commune’s report on the standoff between HR&CE officials and the Deekshitars of the Chidambaram Temple.
With this latest summons, Suryah has alleged that the DMK government under MK Stalin is attempting to harass him by foisting cases against him for social media posts.
“Instead of catching the real culprits, the CB-CID officials are investigating those who criticize the DMK and the Tamil Nadu government in an attempt to intimidate the opposition parties.”, he said.
He further said in an X post about how the officials were waiting for him at his home to serve summons, just when he returned from his recent trip to the USA.
“No matter how hard they try to target me, the DMK government cannot do anything to me. My organization has prepared me to face any false cases and political vendetta.”, he wrote.
