== Crimes ==

=== Dinakaran attack ===
''[[Dinakaran]]'' conducted a survey that showed most people wanted [[M. K. Stalin]] to succeed [[M. Karunanidhi|Karunamidhi]] as [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam|DMK]] leader. Elder brother M. K. Azhagiri was sidelined. This led Pandi, as Azhagiri's aide, to rally his supporters and attack ''Dinakaran''<nowiki/>'s Madurai offices. They firebombed the offices, killing 3 employees. Later he was acquitted in the case.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Madurai/pottu-suresh-murder-case-attack-pandi-arrested-in-mumbai/article7673906.ece|title='Attack' Pandi arrested in Mumbai|last=Sundar|first=S.|date=2015-09-21|work=The Hindu|access-date=2019-10-06|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref>
