In a shocking development, two opposition leaders—one from BJP and another from AIADMK—were brutally murdered in Tamil Nadu in less than 24 hours. Opposition leaders slammed the DMK government over the law-and-order situation, saying that there is no security for anyone in the state.
In a shocking incident, a BJP worker from Sivagangai was hacked to death by a gang on Saturday night. Selvakumar, who was the BJP district secretary of Sivagangai, was attacked when he was returning home on a two-wheeler from the brick kiln he owned in the same area. A group of individuals armed with weapons attacked him when he was on his two-wheeler and fled after committing the crime.
Reacting to the incident, Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai said, “Anti-social elements have no fear of the government or the police. The chief minister, who has the police under his control, is running a political drama.”
Separately, an AIADMK worker was hacked to death in the Cuddalore area, close to the Puducherry border. The victim, Padmanabhan, was a resident of Thirupapuliyur. He was heading towards Bagur village on the day of the incident when some unidentifiable individuals surrounded him, which followed a violent altercation that soon ended with his death.
Bahour Police Station inspector PK Sajith said two persons named Murali and Sridhar from the Navaneetha Nagar area of the Cuddalore district have been taken for questioning.
