CHENNAI: High drama, flashing of a gun prevailed at the residence of Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) chief coordinator Seeman when a police inspector went to paste a summon at his house in Neelankarai, after Seeman failed to appear before the officer at the Valasaravakkam police station in connection the sexual abuse case filed by actress Vijayakshmi in 2011.
The police station personnel served a notice at Seeman’s residence, directing him to appear at the Valasaravakkam Police Station on Friday morning at 11 am. The notice was also pasted on the gates of his house.
A follower of Seeman tore off the summon pasted on the gates of the house, leading to a tussle between the police and the NTK cadre. A security guard at the premises tried to attack Neelankarai inspector Praveen Rajesh, son of former inspector Rajaguru, who was killed along with ex-PM Rajiv Gandhi in the 1991 LTTE suicide bomb attack.
The security guard, who was carrying a gun, was arrested. Police have registered a separate case against NTK member Amalraj, an ex-service man, for allegedly trying to assault a police officer with a gun in his hand and arrested him under various sections of BNS, including Arms Act. High drama prevailed as he refused in the bid by police to arrest him. Another NTK man identified as Vibhakar was also arrested.
Meanwhile Seeman’s lawyer had appeared at the Valasaravakkam police station on Wednesday and claimed that the NTK chief has state-wide programmes and events and requested the cops for four weeks’ time for him to appear at the station with regard to their inquiry.
Meanwhile, Seeman said on the sidelines of a party event in Krishnagiri that won’t be able to appear for police investigations in the rape case on Friday.
“As I am participating in a party meeting in Dharmapuri on Friday, I cannot appear. What will you do? Nothing. I am not a coward. They (DMK) are trying to humiliate me for speaking against Periyar,” he said talking to the media at Hosur in Krishnagiri.
