Coimbatore: A tragic incident unfolded in Vellalore, Coimbatore, as a 50-year-old man named Sekhar was killed in a drunken brawl at a TASMAC (Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation) shop. The victim, a resident of Idayarpalayam area, had gone to visit a relative in Vellalore when the unfortunate event occurred.

According to reports, Sekhar visited the local TASMAC shop to consume alcohol. While there, he got into an argument with other patrons sitting at a nearby table. The verbal altercation quickly escalated into a physical confrontation, prompting the shop employees to intervene and evict those involved.

Outside the shop, the situation took a turn for the worse. Sekhar was allegedly attacked and pushed to the ground by his assailants, who then fled the scene. It had been drizzling in the area, and Sekhar remained motionless on the ground for an extended period.



A customer who arrived at the shop later attempted to rouse Sekhar. Upon turning him over, the Good Samaritan was shocked to discover blood flowing from a wound on the back of Sekhar's head, likely caused by impact with a stone.

The incident was immediately reported to the TASMAC shop employees and the Singanallur Police Station. Responding officers seized Sekhar's body and sent it to the ESI Hospital in Singanallur for post-mortem examination.

The police have registered a case and launched a manhunt for the individuals involved in the altercation that led to Sekhar's death. The incident has created a stir in the local community, highlighting concerns about safety and alcohol-related violence.
