She had earlier rented the house to him.Another complaint had also been lodged against Arivudainambi by one Kamaraj of Woraiyur on Friday night. It stated that Arivudainambi had encroached his land and was using it for his own personal use by dumping his belongings in the vacant plot. Based on both the complaints, a team of police, led by ACP (Srirangam), Veerasamy, registered a case and arrested Arivudainambi around 10.30 am. Later, Arivudainambi was produced before the Judicial Magistrate Maheshwari Banu Rekha who remanded him to judicial custody till July 15.Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, during her election campaign, had assured voters that all land-grabbers in the city would be severely punished and the land would be restored to the original owners. People were hesitant to complain against land grabbing since most of those involved in the crime were of the DMK. Now, several persons had boldly come forward to register cases against land grabbing.Following the numerous land grabbing charges, a special police team had been formed to deal with land grabbing cases.
