Coimbatore: A riot broke out when a man tried to self immolate at the Coimbatore District Collector's Office, claiming that a Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) executive spoke obscenely and attacked his daughter. Arputharaj is from the Thondamuthur area of Coimbatore. He serves as postmaster.
George Kuppusamy, the Union Secretary of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), lives near his house. Arputharaju got into a fight and the case is pending in the court. George Kuppusamy has been constantly harassing and beating Arputharaja and speaking inappropriate words. Also, he has beaten up his 8-year-old daughter and spoken inappropriate words. He has lodged several complaints with the police in this regard and it is said that the police have not taken any action.
Meanwhile, Arputharaj, who arrived at the Coimbatore District Collector's Office on the 15th, has filed a petition with the District Collector seeking action on the issue. But no action was taken on the petition. Upset by this he came to the Coimbatore District Collector's Office this morning with his two daughters and son.
He then poured petrol on himself and tried to set him on fire.
Following this, the police on security duty there took Arputharaj away for questioning.
This caused a stir in the area.
