some more information from the ground:
Murugan belongs to washerman community, since his childhood he has been with annan Pasupathi Pandian, he is closest aide to Annan Pasupathi Pandian.
Annan Pasupathi Pandian's wife was murdered and the case is coming to trial very soon, and annan Pasupathi Pandian is the first eyewitness in that case. It is the fact that Pannaiyar group could have been put behind the bars for the murder of his wife. After Annan's murder, i suppose the killers of both Annan and his wife will be going to be acquitted.
The government had provided security for Annan Pasupathi Pandian, but during the AIADMK regime the state government withdrew the security. And also during the AIADMK rule, there were several raids in his house, which also forced Annan Pasupathi Pandian to avoid his personal security.
