CHENNAI: Police have registered a case against three Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) functionaries following a complaint by Villupuram South district BJP president Dharmaraj, who alleged that his cars were vandalised over a dispute related to party funds.

According to a Daily Thanthi report, the glass panes of two cars owned by Dharmaraj were smashed while they were parked in front of his house at Veerabandi village in Kandachipuram taluk of Villupuram district. The incident occurred the day before yesterday, causing damage estimated at Rs 1 lakh.

Dharmaraj (42) lodged a complaint with the Arakandanallur police, alleging that the attack was orchestrated by senior party members after he refused to share Rs 3 lakh that he had received from the BJP high command for organising expenses related to the public meeting attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Maduranthakam.

In his complaint, Dharmaraj named A G Sampath, BJP state vice-president from K K Salai in Villupuram; Thennarasu, district vice-president from Eralur near Thiruvennainallur; and Loganathan, assembly constituency deputy organiser from Kandachipuram, accusing them of sending unidentified persons to vandalise his vehicles.

Based on the complaint, the police have registered a case against the three individuals and have launched an investigation.
