Problem Statement

Let OO be the circumcentre, and Ω\Omega be the circumcircle of an acute-angled triangle ABCABC. Let PP be an arbitrary point on Ω\Omega, distinct from AA, BB, CC, and their antipodes in Ω\Omega. Denote the circumcentres of the triangles AOPAOP, BOPBOP, and COPCOP by OAO_A, OBO_B, and OCO_C, respectively. The lines A\ell_A, B\ell_B, C\ell_C perpendicular to BCBC, CACA, and ABAB pass through OAO_A, OBO_B, and OCO_C, respectively. Prove that the circumcircle of triangle formed by A\ell_A, B\ell_B, and C\ell_C is tangent to the line OPOP.
