Chithirai festival was held in Mamallapuram in 2013 under the auspices of Vanniyar Sangam. Statues of political leaders were damaged during the riots. Protests erupted in northern districts over the arrest of party members, including BJP founder Ramdas. More than five hundred buses were hit and destroyed. And public property was set on fire.
The government has filed a case alleging that 58 buses were damaged and several crores of rupees were lost. The case was heard in the Chennai High Court. The court had issued a notice to Bamaga leader GK Mani to appear before it to inquire into the collection of public compensation for the riots. A request was made in Bamaka’s name to cancel the notice sent to Bamaka.

The case is being heard today by Judge S. M. Subramaniam said the law would provide compensation not only for the destruction of public property but also for the financial loss to those involved.
Although Bamaka was acquitted in the riot case, the judge pointed out that there was no impediment for the state to seek compensation. The judge refused to cancel Bamaka’s notice, saying the government should give a proper explanation in Bamaka’s name as the purpose would be determined after an inquiry into the matter.

He ordered the government to complete its investigation into the riots within four months. The judge said that political parties were engaging in such unconstitutional activities and advised party leaders to be disciplined in their struggles to fulfill their duty to the community as they had forgotten their duties.
