When the discussions were on, Radha suddenly whipped up a revolver from his dhoti and shot at MGR. The St. Thomas Mount police registered a case and arrested Radha on the charge of attempting to murder MGR. On February 27, the police filed a charge sheet accusing Radha of an attempt to murder MGR and attempt suicide. After he understood that Radha had shot at him, Vasu rushed across and shouted at Radha: “Ada pavi, chandala, sathikara”. He upheld the prosecution version that Radha shot at MGR from behind his back and MGR providentially escaped death.
