Leader of the Opposition and AIADMK co-coordinator Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Wednesday expressed concern over what he called the increasing trend in murders in the State.
In a statement, Mr. Palaniswami said there were reports that 15 murders had taken place in a matter of 36 hours, “rattling” the people. The incidents did not appear to have occurred unexpectedly, and they were perpetrated “in a pre planned manner” and out of “enmity”, he said.
Mr. Palaniswami said Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, who said he was handling law and order directly, should own responsibility for the incidents. The DMK government should take steps to ensure that such crimes do not occur, he added.
