Speaking to reporters, Selvaperunthagai said those who were really responsible for the crime must be apprehended and the state government should ensure a free and fair investigation. ''There are several suspicions...his (Dhanasingh's) hands and legs were found tied, the truth will emerge following investigation,'' the Congress leader said, answering a question and added that they have full confidence in the police probe.

''Whatever may be the background of the persons behind the crime; whatever may be their political affiliations, they must be brought to book,'' Selvaperunthagai said.
