A DMK officer bearer, who was recently suspended for his involvement in sand mining, has threatened to kill an ex-Panchayat Chairman in Trichy.
A few days back, DMK Manapparai East union secretary Arokiyasamy, who was arrested for sand mining, threatening a women Deputy Superintendent of Police, and abducting the seized vehicles from the police station, was released on bail minutes later.
After being released on bail, the suspended DMK office bearer has allegedly threatened to kill Kalingapatti ex-Panchayat Chairman from DMK, who was trying to take over the former’s post in the party. In this context, the audio of DMK senior executive from Kalingapatty and ex-Panchayat Chairman Ramasamy being intimidated by Arokyasamy has been circulating on social media.
In the leaked audio, the person believed to be Arokiyasamy said,” who are you to post a status about me on social media? My actions will be different. you won’t see the sun tomorrow. You won’t be able to take it if I show my strength. People are ready to slash your throat If I tell. you better be careful. I am ready to resign my post; If possible, stand for election and win.”
Arokiyasamy has been involved in illegal sand mining for the past ten years. His vehicles involved in illegal sand mining have been seized several times in the last few months. Also, there is a case registered on him for assaulting a lawyer. According to sources, the police plan to arrest him under the Goondas Act.
