History-sheeter held for threatening Tirunelveli SP

Kannan, a close associate of ‘Rocket Raja’ from Anaikulam near Surandai in Tirunelveli district, had circulated a message in the social media giving a clear warning to the SP that if he is planning to kill ‘Rocket Raja’ in an encounter, he would have to face dire consequences. 

Policemen were shocked to see the message. When they investigated, they found that Kannan was involved in circulating the message among his friends in WhatsApp. Following that, he was arrested and when inquired he had revealed that the message was the idea of his friends. 

Rocket Raja had recently released a video that he had no cases pending against him but the Tirunelveli SP, Arun Sakthi Kumar, was planning to kill him in an encounter and had sought protection. 

He had stated that though the police are persuading him to surrender, he cannot trust them. The statement of ‘Rocket Raja’ came as a shocker to his aides and as he is still absconding but his aides had come in support of him and circulated  the message.
