Members of the Sugarcane Cultivators Association flayed the police for their alleged highhandedness as many of the association members were rounded up and taken into “preventive detention” on Friday.
The president of the association Kurubur Shanthakumar was also rounded up by the police at around 10 a.m. when he emerged from his house while other leaders were picked up from their respective villages.
“We were brought to the DAR grounds and no explanation was provided by the police except that we were in preventive custody”, said Mr. Shanthakumar.
