Raman probe doesn't cover excesses: Stalin

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI, JULY 27. The DMK Youth Wing leader and Chennai Mayor, Mr. M. K. Stalin, today said the ``illegal entry'' into and `excesses' committed by the police at his residence here on June 29 were not covered by the Raman Commission of Inquiry.

Stating there was ``no rule of law in Tamil Nadu'', Mr. Stalin prayed to the State Human Rights Commission, with which he had lodged a complaint, that it take appropriate action.

Responding to the SHRC's letter, citing a government communication that the Commission could await the outcome of the Raman panel probe, the Mayor said the inquiry commission covered only the arrests of the former Chief Minister, Mr. M. Karunanidhi, and the Union Ministers, Mr. Murasoli Maran, and Mr. T. R. Baalu.

The Mayor's written submissions were lodged with the SHRC by the DMK advocate, Mr. K. S. Radhakrishnan.
