Members of the Tamil Nadu Vanigar Sankangalin Peramaippu on Tuesday staged a demonstration, demanding the police register complaints in cases of goons posing as advocates and vacating tenants.
Association president A.M. Vikrama Raja said the police were refusing to take complaints on incidents of shops being vacated forcefully. “In the last few months, there have been at least four such incidents, but they remain silent spectators,” he said.
The association also demanded the police find the accused in murder cases. A pawnbroker, Heera Ram, was murdered in Virugambakkam and six kilos of gold and silver were stolen from the shop. But the police were yet to track the killers, he added.
