RAMANATHAPURAM: Eight persons, including six students, were arrested
on Thursday for allegedly attacking students of the Dalit community in
Thattankulam village.
Police suspect that the incident was a fallout of previous enmity that
existed between two groups of students belonging to different
communities.
On Wednesday, an altercation broke out between some students, who were
travelling in a bus headed to Sayalkudi from Kamuthi, the police said.
When the bus halted at the Thattankulam bus stop, a group of students
attacked some students —said to be from the Dalit community— in
Thattankulam village.
Nine students, including Ganesh and Vijayakumar, sustained minor
injuries in the incident.
They were subsequently treated as out-patients at the Kamuthi
government hospital.
Based on a complaint lodged by Vijayakumar,� a victim, the
Kovilankulam police arrested eight persons in connection with the
alleged attack.
Of these, Naganathan, Viknesh, Thirumurthy, Murugan, Ganesha Murthy
and Mukesh, all students, hailing from Pudukottai.
Later, they were produced in the court and remanded to custody.
