In Coimbatore, two individuals were arrested on July 28 for assaulting an 18-year-old mechanic with a cricket bat near Neelikonampalayam. The attack stemmed from a three-month-old dispute between the victim and the assailants.


Coimbatore: Two men were arrested for assaulting an 18-year-old youth with a cricket bat near Neelikonampalayam in Coimbatore. The incident, which occurred on July 26, was the result of a dispute that began three months ago.

The victim, Karthikeyan (18), son of Sundaraj from Mahalakshmi Nagar in Neelikonampalayam, works as a mechanic at a two-wheeler workshop on Sarojini Road. Three months ago, Karthikeyan had a disagreement with Sibu (30). Karthikeyan informed his friend Sridhar about Sibu's threats, leading Sridhar to confront Sibu. This confrontation resulted in enmity between the parties involved.

On July 26, while Karthikeyan was working at the workshop, Sibu and another person arrived at the scene. They verbally abused Karthikeyan and then proceeded to assault him repeatedly with a cricket bat.

Following the incident, a complaint was filed at the Singanallur Police Station. Upon investigation, the police identified the attackers as Sibu (30) from SIHS Colony, Singanallur, and his friend Reshit (25) from Neelikonampalayam. Both were subsequently arrested on July 28.

The Singanallur police have registered a case and are continuing their investigation into the matter. This incident has raised concerns about personal disputes escalating into violent confrontations in the area.
