Chennai: PMK founder S. Ramadoss on Saturday alleged that incidents of murder through hired gangs had increased in the state and said measures including quality education and employment for youths, besides eradicating liquor, monitoring their activities and police reformation would free the state from such gangs.
In a statement here, Ramadoss said the statement of Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa that murders arising from previous enmity, family disputes and love affairs could not be prevented by police could be partially accepted. But, totally ignoring such murders could be dangerous, he said.
Anti-social elements are misguiding youth and using them as hired gangs, he said and measures should be taken to guide the youth in the proper way by giving them education and employment, besides eradicating liquor.
CPI state secretary R. Mutharasan too said Chennai is becoming a murder city and the activities of hired murder gangs had increased.
