Teams formed to arrest Vijayakanth!!!!!

CHENNAI: Chennai police have formed five special teams to arrest actor-politician

Vijayakanth and other accused named in the first
information report in connection with
the mob attack on comedian Vadivelu’s house in Saligramam last Sunday. The teams will be headed by Manohar, assistant commissioner of police (Vadapalani), and local inspectors.

Vijaykanth, however, has accused the ruling DMK of framing him and instigating the mob which stoned the comedian’s house. Whether the founder of the fledgling DMDK, who has positioned himself as a political alternative to both Jayalalitha and chief minister M Karunanidhi, gets arrested or not, is uncertain. But the war between the action hero and the comedian has added to the long list of rivalries on which politics in Tamil Nadu has thrived.

“We have interrogated actor Vadivelu, based on his complaint. Security guard Chintamani and manager Velusamy did not notice the registration numbers of two-wheelers used by the attackers. We have interrogated at least 30 people including several neighbours, vendors and autorickshaw drivers, who witnessed the incident. Most of them told us that they can identify the attackers if they were paraded before them,” a senior police officer said.

The special teams have been assigned to probe all possible angles. Three of the teams have been instructed to pursue the arrest of the named and unnamed accused listed in the first information report. “Since Vijayakanth has been named as the first accused in the FIR, we are looking for him, as he has been booked under the non-bailable Section 307 (attempt to murder) and 506 (II) (threatening to murder), apart from other sections of Indian Penal Code,” the police officer said.

Meanwhile, the political spat between the Kollywood actors had its violent echo in the textile town of Coimbatore as the DMDK labour wing office came under attack on Tuesday afternoon. Six members of a Hindu Makkal Katchi faction, which supported comedian Vadivelu, allegedly went on the rampage at the DMDK labour wing office at Sungam.

Led by the district president of the Hindu Makkal Katchi, Anbu Mari, the group pulled down the thatched shed of the parking lot, burnt the party flag and damaged the furniture and name board of the DMDK office.

Within minutes, the police control room alerted the Singanallur police, who launched a search for Anbu Mari and his supporters. As the police cornered Anbu Mari, he and three others surrendered at the police station. Two more surrendered later.

According to the police inspector, R Srinivasulu, the group allegedly attacked the DMDK office as some of the members of that party had telephonically threatened Anbu Mari for issuing statements in support of Vadivelu.

Anbu Mari is said to have lodged a complaint against the DMDK members at the Peelamedu police station. However, as he was “unhappy” with the police action, he staged a dharna on Tuesday morning. After the protest dharna, Anbu Mari allegedly went straight to the DMDK office and launched an attack. All six members of the Hindu Makkal Katchi have been arrested.
