Jaya expels leader who attacked cop

Vellore: AIADMK chief Jayalalithaa on Monday expelled G G Ravi, 53, of Saidapet in Vellore, from the party in the wake of his arrest for assaulting and attempting to murder a police inspector when the latter tried to stop sand smuggling.
Jayalalithaa, in a press statement issued on Monday, said that G G Ravi has been removed from the party primary membership for acting against the principles of the party.
She also asked the party workers to not have any contact with him. Following a complaint from inspector T Pandi, the Sathuvachari police registered a case against him. He was remanded to the Vellore Central Prison.
This was the second time he has been expelled from the party. He joined the AIADMK in July 2006 and was fielded as party candidate for ward 10 in Vellore Corporation and won the election.
