Murugan, a Hindu
Munnani activist of kakkan colony, near Besant Nagar Chennai was attacked with
lethal weapons causing serious head injuries while he was returning from Ganesh
Visarjan on September 8 late night near his residence. He was given treatment and after several
stitches to his head he was brought back to his house only to be picked up by
local police on charges under non-bail able sections. It came to light that the same gang that
attacked Murugan murderously had lodged a complaint with the police. Chennai City Secretary of Hindu Munnani
Elangovan rushed to the spot. There was
demonstration against police action because Murugan had been targeted by the
same mosque people who had objected to the installing of a big Ganesha idol in
the usual spot. In difference to their
opinion, Hindus installed Ganesh idol far from the usual spot. Murugan used to counter unjust demands of the mosque
people. All these culminated in the
attack on Murugan. It has come to the
notice of the public that the mosque in question had been imposed into the
locality on a piece of Government land without permission. Only on the insistence of Hindu leaders the
complaint by Murugan’s wife was accepted by the police and two Muslims were
rounded up for the attack on Murugan. Police also arrested Baskar another Hindu Munnani activist of the same locality.
