Kamaraj, a farmer, is from Thulukaviduthi village near Peravurani in Thanjavur district. Pathakumar is also from the same village. He works as a second-grade police constable at the Malayur police station in Pudukkottai district.
It is noteworthy that his wife, Kalaichelvi, also works in the police department. Bhaskar is also from the same area. All three are relatives. There has been a land dispute between Bhaskar and Pathakumar. In this situation, Pathakumar’s side was angry, believing that Kamaraj was acting in support of Bhaskar.

Meanwhile, it is said that the coconut saplings on the land belonging to Kamaraj’s side were uprooted by Pathakumar’s side. Following this, Kamaraj planted coconut saplings again in the same place. Enraged by this, Pathakumar severely attacked farmer Kamaraj. As a video related to this has surfaced on social media, the incident has caused a stir.
We spoke to Kamaraj’s side about this, “My brother-like relative Bhaskar works in the agriculture department in Chennai. There has been a land dispute between Bhaskar and Pathakumar. Since it was near my land, I had been maintaining Bhaskar’s land. Because of this, Pathakumar’s side would often pick fights with me, thinking I was favoring Bhaskar. Bhaskar officially had the land measured by a surveyor. A surveyor named Radhika measured the land and gave the report.”

Following this, Pathakumar again approached the surveyor to have the measurement done. Then the same surveyor measured it again and said that in Bhaskar’s land, Pathakumar had four meters. “Madam, when you measured it the first time, you said our land was correct. Now you’re saying Pathakumar has 4 meters of land. We cannot accept this,” we said and approached the chief surveyor. He said that the mistake was in the land map itself, and then dodged the issue by saying both sides should talk it over amicably and settle it.
In this situation, the coconut saplings that were on my land were uprooted by Subramanian and Anjammal, the parents of Pathakumar. Following this, a few days ago I planted a sapling again in the same spot where the coconut sapling had been. The two who came then threw chili powder on me and attacked me. Completely unprepared for this, I filed a complaint at the Thiruchitrambalam police station seeking action in this matter and returned home.

Then Pathakumar came with his henchmen and attacked me brutally. He asked, “We’re a police family, and you’re filing a complaint against us?” and assaulted me. During the inquiry at the police station regarding this same land dispute complaint, he also attacked me at the entrance of the police station. Pathakumar has been behaving in this rowdy manner continuously. When questioned, he says, “My wife and I are police; you can’t do anything to us.” Proper action should be taken against Pathakumar’s family members, who attacked me by throwing chili powder on me,” he said.
In this matter, cases have also been registered against Pathakumar and Kamaraj.
We spoke to Pathakumar about this. “The land dispute between us and Bhaskaran is a separate matter. Kamaraj came to the path leading to our house and planted a stone there. When my parents heard this, he attacked them with an iron rod. He also attacked me along with several others when I returned after work.
They edited this and released only part of the video. They did not release the part where I was beaten. Deliberately, false information is being spread by Kamaraj’s side. Since I am a police officer, I act in accordance with the law. I have done nothing wrong,” he said.
