Chennai: Police personnel guarding DMK MP Kanimozhi’s residence in Chennai have been reportedly withdrawn.
According to sources, since more personnel are needed for Covid-19 related work and to implement lockdown measures, the policemen providing security cover to her house have been taken back.
Kanimozhi, who is the MP of Tuticorin, on Wednesday dubbed the custodial death of a man and his son in the district as ‘violence’ committed by the police and wanted action against two Sub-Inspectors for their alleged roles in the incident.
In a series of tweets, she said their mere transfer to the Armed Reserve was not a punishment and added she had taken up with the District Collector the need to ensure stringent action against them. She also demanded that the State government provide compensation to the family.
