The Thamil Makkal Viduthalai Pullikal led by Karuna Amman is carrying out the role of policeman in Kalmunai in violation of local laws, residents said.
TMVP cadres have reportedly arrested a 29 year old man on Wednesday following a complaint lodged with the armed outfit which operates political offices in government controlled areas in the east.
The man, a father of two, taken into Karuna custody was identified as Hidayathullah of Natpiddimunai. According to reports a Tamil woman had initially lodged a complaint with the Kalmunai police alleging that a sister of Mr. Hidayathullah had borrowed money on interest and failed to return it.
The Kalmunai police intervened and advised Mr. Hidayathullah’s sister to return the money on installments. The complainant had also agreed to the settlement mode.
However with the intention of getting back the whole sum immediately the Tamil woman had lodged a complaint with the TMVP, reports from the area said.
TMVP cadres had subsequently arrested Mr. Hidayathullah and held him under detention until the money was returned.
Reports indicate people fear communal disharmony between Tamils and Muslims in Kalmunai if TMVP cadres continue to be involved in civil activities and carry out the role of policeman.
