He said he wanted a house to stay on temporary basis. He rented the first floor of the house, for two years agreement with an advance of Rs 50,000 and Rs 4,500 as monthly rent in the year 2006. From March 2007 to March 2008, the monthly rent was deducted from the advance, the complainant has mentioned in his petition. As the agreement period of two years expired in March 2008, Prithiviraj and his brother K Lakshimipathy asked Pandi to vacate the house. However, Pandi threatened the brothers to sell the property to him and he was ready to give any price but if they still persisted on getting rent, they may have to face dire consequences. When Prithiviraj attempted to file a complaint at Avaniapuram police station, Pandi along with his henchmen threatened to destroy the family. Further, Pandi has threatened other tenants in the building, forcefully vacating them. On July 10, 2011, Prithiviraj and his wife had approached Pandi again. ‘Attack’ Pandi and his accomplices verbally abused the couple and threatened them to register the house in his name within a week’s time by taking the money he was ready to give. Hence, Prithiviraj sought the police department to take action against ‘Attack’ Pandi, his accomplices, Kannan, Jothivelan, Jayapandi, Sathish Kumar, Batsha and Prabhu and redeem the Rs 2 crore worth property. Based on the complaint, ASP, Mayil Vahanan and Tiruparankundram DSP, Murugesan made enquiries.
