He charged that the accused Gnanashekaran was not in the rowdy list of the Tamil Nadu police despite being involved in several cases. Annamalai said that this was due to the accused Gnanashekaran’s proximity to the DMK leaders.

The Tamil Nadu BJP Chief who is also a former IPS officer said that the accused Gnanashekaran was a functionary of the DMK and provided proof of the same.
