AIADMK cadres swung into action near Sedapatti

Three AIADMK cadres were reportedly arrested by an AMMK cadre in Mangalrevu near Sedapatti on Sunday evening.

According to police, their convoy was stopped by some persons when a convoy of AIADMK leaders, including former minister RB Udhayakumar, was returning home after attending a public meeting.

Though senior leaders Mr. Udhayakumar and I. Mahendran left the spot, three of the AIADMK cadres, identified as A. Dinesh Kumar, Abinesh and Vishnu Kumar, were beaten up.

Based on a complaint by Mr Dinesh Kumar, the district police have arrested six unnamed persons for assault, criminal restraint, use of abusive language and criminal intimidation.

Meanwhile, Mr Udhayakumar petitioned Madurai Superintendent of Police BK Arvind to take action against those who had attacked his party members.
