News: Rights Body demands arrest of culprits

Puducherry, Sep 4 (UNI) Condemning the demolition of a statue of revered Dalit leader B R Ambedkar at Pathukkannu junction near here, the Federation for People’s Rights today urged the administration to bring to book the culprits responsible forthwith.

Federation Secretary G Sugumaran, in a statement today said the demolition of the statue of Ambedkar by miscreants on the night of September 1, could not be forgiven.

He said Villianur police had erected another Ambedkar statue at the same place immediately after the incident. This act of the police, instead of arresting the culprits was against law and would set a wrong precedent, he said.
