2 functionaries of Thirumavalavan’s Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), one of whom is the city secratary, have been arrested for attempting to snatch 4 acres of land in Kodaikkanal, Dindigal district. Ganesan, who was maintaining the lands, tried to snatch the land from its owners, with the help of the two VCK members. They also attacked the owners of the land.
Ganesan (35) belongs to the Vadakavunji village, near Kodaikkanal in Dindigal district. He was working for one Marina, who also belonged to the same area. 3 years ago, Marina purchased 4 acres of land from Vasantha, who is also from the same area. Marina, who had paid part of the cost to Vasantha, did not pay the rest for the land.
According to sources, Marina and her husband died under mysterious circumstances a few days ago. After their death, Ganesan claimed that the couple did not pay him his monthly salary for the past two years, and therefore claimed ownership of Marina’s land. Vasantha, on the other hand, claimed ownership to the land too, on the grounds that the full amount was not paid by Marina.
In this situation, Ganesan joined hands with VCK city secretary Inbaraj and along with other cadres of VCK, they started troubling Vasantha. On December 23rd, Ganesan, Inbaraj and the VCK cadres went to the land, placed the VCK flag on the land and threatened Vasantha. Allegedly, The VCK members spoke vulgarly to Vasantha and his brother Kanakaraj and attacked them as well. Both of them are admitted to the Kodaikkanal Government Hospital for treatment.
A complaint has been filed against Ganesan and Inbaraj, under 5 sections of the IPC, including, attack with weapons, threatening and trespassing. They have now been arrested by the local Police officials. The police are also trying to find the other members involved in the attack.
