Justice Velmurugan seeks explanation from police for closure of 124 complaints in hate speech case

- R SIVAKUMAR @ Chennai

COMING down heavily on the Tamil Nadu police for closing all the 124 complaints, at the preliminary stage itself, filed against former minister and senior DMK leader K Ponmudy for his alleged hate speech against women and Saivite and Vaishnavite denominations, the Madras High Court on Tuesday said the court cannot remain a mute spectator if politicians cross the limits.

Hearing a suo motu case initiated against Ponmudy, Justice P Velmurugan said the contempt case would be kept open and he would "vigilantly watch" what the police was going to do on the matter.
