Prabhakaran, 35, hails from Balkaragat, Kalarambatti, Salem. He is the DMK branch secretary of the area. He also runs a two-wheeler repair shop in the same area.
Last night, at 11:30, a mentally challenged woman named Kamala, 70, was standing in front of the workshop, not knowing where to go. Prabhakaran informed the city police control room about this.
From there, the information came to the Kichipalayam police station, where SI Kalaiyarasan, who was on duty, came to the spot.
Instead of taking the old lady to safety, he scolded Prabhakaran and his younger brother Tamilselvan for informing the police control room.
After that, he said, ‘Find out the address of the old lady and hand it over to her relatives, show her the video and photos of the same, and take away the mobile phones.’
The shocked brothers came to the police commissioner’s office with the mentally ill woman yesterday and filed a complaint against the SI.
Deputy Commissioner Lavanya has been ordered to investigate the matter.
