T.N police no longer functioning under CM Stalin’s command, alleges Nainar Nagenthran

BJP Tamil Nadu president Nainar Nagenthran on Friday (July 4, 2025) alleged that the law and order situation in the State is rapidly deteriorating, and that the Police Department is no longer functioning under the command of Chief Minister M.K. Stalin.

Speaking to journalists in Chennai, the BJP leader said, “The Police Department appears to be taking orders from some officials in the Secretariat.” Referring to the custodial death of B. Ajith Kumar, a security guard at the Bathrakaliamman Temple in Madapuram in Sivaganga district, Mr. Nagenthran said: “It was not a case of custodial death, but a clear case of murder by the police. Ajith Kumar was abducted and killed by the police.”

Mr. Nagenthran said he would take part in the launch of AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami’s Statewide tour and that BJP functionaries would also join the AIADMK leader in the districts. He declined to comment when asked if any National Democratic Alliance (NDA) leaders had approached actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, inviting it to join the alliance.
