Earlier, scenes were shown in the media in which an ambulance driver was pulled out of the vehicle and attacked. The mob alleged that the empty ambulance was sent to the people to disperse.
Palanisamy of Dapadi accused
This charge was first made by Palanisamy of AIADMK General Secretary Edpadi. He had said that empty ambulances were sent to spread the crowd in the election rally. Only after this, the ambulance team was attacked during the next campaign. After TV leaders made similar allegations, the district police called ambulance drivers and service providers before investigating the special investigation team.
Ambulance driver said this
Local ambulance service provider Surya said that he put his life at risk to save the lives of women and children, including women and children, yet he was attacked. Surya said, “He asked for our vehicle documents, asked who called us and how we got information. We told us that the police had called us and answered all the questions. That day my four people came in the attack. We saved many people.”
Surya also said that no compensation was given for ambulance drivers, while her work became the subject of political dispute. He further said, “My team worked hard that night, faced the crowd and rushed the patients to the hospital. They did not even get food. A driver saved a child’s life by playing on his life. Yet no compensation was declared for the employees who were victims of attacks.”
