In Kummidipoondi of Tiruvallur district, a heartbroken youth set himself on fire after trying to remove the house claiming it was encroachment. BJP state president Annamalai has criticized the DMK government regarding this incident. In particular, he has severely criticized the Housing Minister Muthusamy.
Rajkumar is a resident of Kummidipoondi Kotakkarai Netaji Nagar, Tiruvallur District. The authorities have recently issued a notice to demolish his house claiming it was built encroachment. They also took steps to demolish and dispose of Rajkumar’s house.
Revenue officials were removing encroachments in Kummidipoondi Kotakkarai Netaji Nagar with heavy police security. Rajkumar strongly objected to this and said that his house is on leased land. But the authorities tried to demolish the house.
Heartbroken, Rajkumar ran out of the house, pouring kerosene on his body and setting himself on fire. The people there were shocked to see this. Rajkumar ran hither and thither burning.
The police, who did not expect this at all, were shocked. The police who were on security duty acted quickly and extinguished the fire that had caught fire on Rajkumar. He was then taken by ambulance to the government hospital for treatment. Currently, Rajkumar is undergoing treatment in a critical condition. The sensational scene of the young man running away while his body is on fire is spreading rapidly in the media.
BJP State President Annamalai strongly condemned the DMK government for this incident and severely criticized Housing Minister Muthuswamy. In a post posted by BJP state president Annamalai, “While real estate tycoons are enjoying benefits and concessions under this DMK regime, common man’s houses are being demolished as illegal constructions.
A young man tried to prevent government officials from demolishing his house built on Patta land in Kummidipoondi near Chennai, set himself on fire. But State Housing Minister and State Prohibition Minister Muthuswamy is busy working on introducing 90ml bottles in Tasmac ahead of Diwali. He talks a lot about the priorities of this DMK government in Tamil Nadu,” said Annamalai.
