Police in Securing Muthukumar's Funeral

Hundreds of youths belonging to various colleges, Tamil organisations and the Radical Students’ Youth Federation took part in the funeral procession that started from Kolathur and took more than four hours to reach the burial ground. They raised slogans, eulogising the sacrifice of Muthukumar and condemned the Centre for extending support to Sri Lankan armed forces.

A large contingent of police, led by Additional Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) A.K. Viswanathan, was deployed along the route.
