'Will face arrest in T.N.'

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI NOV. 28. Even as Karnataka is preparing to withdraw the cases against Kolathur Mani and send him as an emissary to the forest bandit, Veerappan, the Tamil Nadu Government today made it clear that he would be arrested the moment he stepped into the State.

According to a top Home Department official, "It is the duty of the Tamil Nadu Government to arrest Mani" as there were five cases, including one relating to the abduction of the film actor, Rajkumar, by Veerappan, against him.

Unlike Karnataka, Tamil Nadu would not withdraw the cases against Mani. Therefore, the State Government would treat him as an accused and would apprehend him if he came to Tamil Nadu. However, there was little the State Government could do if Karnataka sent him as an emissary.
