NAMAKKAL: Tension gripped Pottireddipatti village near here after some
persons were injured in a group clash. Five persons were arrested in
connection with the incident, while a search is on for three others,
police said on Thursday.
According to police sources, the incident was sparked off after a
group of persons from Ambedkar Nagar area in Pottireddipatty village
manhandled a youth from another community. Soon, another group made a
retialiatory strike, injuring a few of them. However, the persons who
were injured in the clash and subsequently admitted to the Government
Hospital, alleged that they were attacked due to political rivalry in
the recent civic body polls. As per a complaint lodged by Murugesan of
Ambedkar Nagar, a group barged into their area on Wednesday evening
and attacked them, besides pelting stones.
Tension prevailed in the area following the incident and a large posse
of policemen were deployed to avert any flare up. The arrested persons
were identified as G Velmurugan (23), R Senthil (38), S Karthick (21),
R Satheesh (19) and K Prasadh (21). DSP K S Subramaniam told Express,
"They were booked under various sections of the SC/ST Atrocities
Prevention Act and IPC based on Murugesan's complaint."
On Thursday, SP Pravesh Kumar and Additional SP T P Suresh Kumar and
others, visited the area to take stock of the situation.
