A case of 'attempted murder' has been registered against DMDK leader and actor Vijayakanth and 30 others at Chennai's Virugambakkam police station on a complaint made by comedian Vadivelu whose Saligramam house and office were stoned by some 30 unidentified persons on Sept.21 (Sunday) morning.
Vadivelu, accompanied by his lawyer, Raja Senthur Pandi, went to the police station soon after the violent incident and lodged the complaint.
In the complaint, Vadivelu alleged that the attack on his house and office had been carried out at the instigation of Vijayakanth
Nine Cr.P.C.Sections under which the case has been registered against Vijayakanth and 30 others are 307 (attempted murder), 502/2 (threatening with dangerous weapons), 448 (trespass), 336 (endangering lives), 147 (causing disturbance to public peace), 148 (intent to kill), 427 (causing damage to property) and 323 (causing injuries).
In addition, Vijayakanth has also been charged under Sec. 120B (conspiracy).
Police Commissioner Sekhar confirmed that Vijayakanth has been charged with attempted murder under Sec. 307.
According to Vadivelu, a big stone fell near his son Subramani in the house. They came out of the house and saw some 20 motorbikes parked in front of the house. Those who threw stones at the house shouted that "...you (Vadivelu) have talked badly about our leader...you cannot live oppose us...we will bomb your house ...burn it..." Vadivelu further said he knew that they were Vijayakanth's men and the attack had been engineered to prevent him (Vadivelu) from going to the Saidapet Magistrate's court where a case against Vijayakanth was to come up for hearing the following day.
DMDK youth wing secretary Sudhish, however, denied the involvement of Vijayakanth's men in the incident. It was a false case foisted on Vijayakanth on instructions from "Tiruchi" (implying Chief Minister Karunanidhi who was at Tiruchi on Sunday). "In the morning the police said the case was registered against 10 men. Later the number increased to 20 and in the night it became 30."
DMDK headquarters secretary Parthasarathy charged that Vijayakanth's men were falsely implicated when actually DMK men were behind the attack. The DMK could not digest the fact that Marxist leaders met Vijayakanth and held talks with him
