Speaking on the matter MK Stalin has said that the murder of a guard who is stationed at Jayalalithaa's Kodanadu estate only reflects the state of law and order in Tamil Nadu.

"It has become a mystery as to who is taking care of Kodanadu estate after jayalalithaa's death. Hence, same kind of probe should be initiated for the murder of the security guard like the one to investigate Jayalalithaa's death", he said.

This is the second shocking incident in a week, which has happened at Jayalalithaa's property. On April 19, fire was reported inside the compounds of Jayalalithaa's bungalow in Siruthavur.

Nilagiri SP Murali Raamba has initiated an investigation on the matter and the cops are trying to find out real motive of the murder.
