Coimbatore: A family dispute turned violent in RS Puram, Coimbatore, leading to a severe incident involving auto driver Madanraj, who attempted to set his in-laws' house on fire. 60-year-old Radhakrishnan, also an auto driver and a resident of Meenakshi Nagar, has been frequently embroiled in disputes with his son-in-law, Madanraj, who hails from Vedapatti VDS Nagar.
