Coimbatore: A drunken argument near a private liquor shop on the Pollachi-Valparai Road turned fatal, resulting in the death of a 21-year-old man. The Pollachi East Police have arrested two individuals in connection with the murder.

The incident came to light when police received information about a body with injuries found near Om Prakash Theater on the Pollachi-Valparai Road. Upon reaching the scene, the police recovered the body, which bore visible stab wounds.

Further investigation revealed that the deceased was identified as Aravindsamy, a 21-year-old driver from J.J. Nagar in Pollachi. He was married and had a four-month-old daughter.

The police identified the suspects as Faisal from Suleswaranpatti and Vimal from Mothirapuram. The duo was apprehended while roaming in the Pollachi area.
