I don't want police security, says Karunanidhi

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI, JULY 4. The former Chief Minister, Mr. M. Karunanidhi, today asked for withdrawal of his police security guards, saying they had only watched helplessly during his arrest (in the wee hours of Saturday).

In a letter to the State Home Secretary, written from the Central prison, Mr. Karunanidhi said he wanted to end the ``double game'' of some ``police beasts'' threatening his life and the modesty of women members of his family, on the one hand, and a couple of innocent security guards who could do nothing to stop such behaviour, on the other.

Therefore, he did not want police security, he said.

The police had ill-treated him on the night of his arrest without any consideration for his health or age, he alleged.
