From Court Summons to Collar Grabs: The DMK Police Promotion Package

Today’s events outside Tamil nationalist leader Seeman’s home were a **planned trespass**, not a routine police action. **Key Details:** 1. **The Summons Drama:** * Police arrived to paste a court summons on Seeman’s gate in Neelankarai. This is standard procedure. * They took photos, recorded witnesses, and left. Legally, their job ended there. 2. **What Happens If the Summons Is Torn?** * Rain, cows, or vandals could rip the summons. Police aren’t obligated to guard it 24/7. * If Seeman ignores the summons by February 28, the next step is for the court—not the police—to decide legal action (e.g., arrest warrant). 3. **The Unlawful Trespass:** * Inspector Praveen Rajesh (Neelankarai Police) later stormed the property, claiming the summons was torn. * He aggressively grabbed security guard Amalraj (a **former army veteran**) by his collar and pushed into the house. Two plainclothes men (not police) assisted. 4. **Amalraj’s Defense:** * Amalraj, licensed to carry a firearm, **did not threaten or attack anyone**. He only tried to block unauthorized entry. * The officer and civilians forcibly dragged him out, confiscated his licensed gun, and arrested him on false charges. 5. **Double Standards:** * Would police barge into Udhayanidhi Stalin’s home or other opposition leaders’ houses like this? Unlikely. * This was a staged drama to target Seeman and create controversy. **Violations:** * Trespassing without justification. * Assaulting a licensed security guard. * Civilians (non-police) participating in the operation. * Confiscating a licensed firearm illegally. **Actions Taken:** * Complaints were filed with the Ex-Servicemen Welfare Association and the National Human Rights Commission. **Media & Legal Irony:** * Inspector Praveen threatened journalists filming the incident: *“Don’t broadcast this!”* * The police and media (like Sun TV) seem to forget courts exist. **PS:** This isn’t about politics—it’s about **abuse of power**. If police can trespass and fabricate charges against a veteran, imagine what they’ll do to ordinary citizens.
