1000 AIADMK activists held

About 1000 AIADMK activists were taken into custody from various parts of Tamil Nadu Tuesday even as a report of suspected AIADMK workers setting ablaze a State Transport Corporation bus in Amaravathi in Kumbakonam on Monday night, protesting against the conviction of their leader Jayalalitha in the TANSI cases, was received by the police in Madras.

For the second day, police took into custody scores of AIADMK activists who tried to block road traffic in various parts of the state, protesting against the special court judgment.

Police said 180 AIADMK workers were taken into custody from two places in the city when they attempted to squat on the road.

A report from Tirunelveli said 160 AIADMK activists, including legislator S Karuppasamy, were taken into custody in the district, while a similar number were arrested in Coimbatore for trying to block road traffic.

At Amaravathi village, miscreants asked bus passengers to alight before setting it ablaze. The bus coming from Manargudi was gutted, police said, adding that AIADMK Valangaiman block secretary A Gurumoorthy and four party activists were arrested.

A report from Tiruchirapalli stated that Raja, (32), belonging to the AIADMK, who set himself ablaze protesting against the conviction of Jayalalitha near Pettavaithalai on Monday, was rushed by police to the Dr K A P Viswanatham government medical college hospital, where his condition was stated to be critical.
