PMK founder S. Ramadoss on Thursday, November 2, 2023 condemned the attack, robbery and urination upon two men of the Scheduled Caste community near Thachanallur in Tirunelveli district, that took place on October 30, 2023.
Even though the six people who were in the incident have been arrested, an investigation should be carried out to find out if they are anymore persons involved, and strict action must be taken against them, Mr. Ramadoss said in a statement.
The incident occurred just months after a Scheduled Caste teenager and his younger sister were hacked by three teens belonging to a dominant intermediate caste in Nanguneri also in Tirunelveli district, Mr. Ramadoss noted and said such caste atrocities cannot be accepted and strict action must be taken legally.
