more-inTaking a tough stand, the district police have booked more than 200 cases against those who violated the prohibitory order imposed by the district administration under section 144 of Cr PC during Dalit leader Immanuel Sekaran death anniversary on September 11 and Thevar Jayanthi from October 28 to 30 at Pasumpon. After booking 109 cases against those violated the orders, while visiting the memorial of Immanuel Sekaran at Paramakudi, the district police have so far booked 102 cases against violators during the Thevar Jayanthi and involving 196 vehicles, mostly cars, police said. “The registration of cases will continue till all the violators are brought to book,” Superintendent of Police Omprakash Meena said. On the day when the volunteers violated the orders, the police exercised restraint and left them untouched as they came in a mob and any action would have triggered unnecessary problems, the SP said. The volunteers breached the collector’s order by coming in convoys of more than three vehicles, travelling on roof tops, bursting crackers, carrying banners and for behaving unruly.
