VCK To Stage Protest Against Police For ‘Targeting’ Dalits In Kallakurichi On Aug 13: Thirumavalavan

VCK chief Thol Thirumavalavan also urged the law enforcement agencies, including police, to conduct an investigation into the incidents in a proper manner.

Chennai: Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), a political party representing Dalits in Tamil Nadu, is set to stage a protest on Saturday against police targetting the Dalit community during Kallakurichi violence in July that stemmed from the alleged suicide of a Class 12 girl student in the district.

VCK founder leader and Member of Parliament Thol Thiruvamavalan said that the party would stage a protest on August 13 and urged the law enforcement agencies, including police, to conduct an investigation into the incidents in a proper manner.

In a statement on Thursday, the VCK leader said that certain policemen who are investigating the case are sidetracking the probe and leveling charges against Dalit youths.

He charged that a caste outfit was working in close association with police and felicitating arrests of gullible Dalit youths. The violence has been turned into a discussion point and several youths are being taken into police custody, Thol Thiruvamavalan added.

The VCK leader said that the police in the guise of the investigation was turning the probe into a farce and several Dalit youths and their families were being targeted.

Policemen were arresting people after making sure of their caste and instead of investigating the reasons behind the suicide of the girl student, the policemen were targeting Dalit youths and their families.
