The events that unfolded on Monday had become a spear for the opposition parties to attack the ruling DMK and the police for what they called the arrest due to political vendetta.
The police team led by the Superintendent of Police has been stationed in the area and the officials had affirmed that the situation has been brought under control.
"We condemn the Tamil Nadu government's role in this incident. We have also informed the police. BJP cadres don't get intimidated by such attacks", Thiagarajan added.
Shankar had been serving as the DMK's Secretary of the Thiruvottiyur West district. After the incident of attacking the engineer came to the light of the leadership, he was removed from the post of secretary.
As per his statement, the officials had begun gathering the evidence and witnesses to prove that the woman had killed her husband to save her daughter.
