A techie from Kumarapalayam near Annur in the district released a video on Saturday, alleging that some individuals associated with the BJP extorted ₹10 lakh from his parents using the name of former BJP state president K Annamalai.
The video has since gone viral on social media.
On Sunday, N Arunachalam (26) lodged a complaint with Annur police seeking legal action against the gang and requested police to retrieve ₹10 lakh, which he alleged, was extorted by the gang from his parents, Nagaraj and Nagamani.
Arunachalam’s brother, Thirumoorthy, died in a road accident on July 5, 2023. The suspects, namely Goku-lakrishnan, Saminathan, and Rasukutty, allegedly associated with the BJP, helped with legal proceedings.
