CHENNAI: Lok Sabha Member of Parliament Dayanidhi Maran lodged a complaint with the Commissioner of Police on Saturday stating that police had taken into custody cable television operators belonging to Sumangali Cable Vision late on Friday night “without assigning reason” in parts of South Chennai. Talking to mediapersons after presenting his complaint at the COP’s office in Egmore on Saturday morning, Mr. Maran said that the police had picked up several cable operators on Friday night and on Saturday morning for questioning. “Those who were picked up last night have not returned home yet. I don’t want to politicise this issue. I think the Chief Minister is not aware of what the police are up to,” he said. Police Commissioner Nanchil G. Kumaran, however, said that the police had not detained anyone. On Friday, a cable operator Prakash, who runs Sai Ram Satellite System in Nandanam, had lodged a complaint with the Pondy Bazaar police station that consumers were not receiving signals because cables had been damaged. In his complaint Mr. Prakash had alleged that cable operators Muralidharan, who runs Sriram Cable Network and Kishore Kumar of Sivasakthi cable network, had damaged cables thus preventing signal reception. Mr. Prakash supplies transmission signals to Ashok Nagar, Mambalam and K.K. Nagar areas through Hathway. The accused receive transmission signals through SCV. Based on Prakash’s complaint the Assistant Commissioner of Police had picked up Muralidharan and Kishore Kumar around 11.30 p.m. and questioned them and later let them off. The Commissioner said no one else had been detained in this regard.
