He threatens Cong. functionary to part with ₹1 crore
The Karaikudi North police have arrested Tamil Kumaran, 38, on Thursday on the charge of threatening a Congress functionary to part with ₹1 crore.
In a complaint, Mangudi of Burma Colony said he was a former panchayat president and had held the post of vice-president of Sivaganga District Congress Committee. He said Tamil Kumaran came to his house on Thursday and demanded ₹1 crore. When he refused to give him any money, Tamil Kumaran took out some objects and placed them on the table stating that they were explosives. Tamil Kumaran also showed two long knives and a steel pipe which he claimed would explode as they were stuffed with explosives.
