Victim was digging well at the house of the accused
The Parassala police arrested one person for allegedly attempting to murder a well-digger by hurling a large rock on him near Dhanuvachapuram on Thursday.
The accused, Binu, 51, of Dhanuvachapuram Park Junction, allegedly threw the heavy rock on Shine Kumar, alias Sabu, 43, of Udiyankulangara while Shine was digging a well at Binu’s house.
While both have been friends for long and used to often work together, their relationship turned sour lately following an argument over the well being dug at Binu’s house. An altercation had occurred on Wednesday over Shine’s demand for wages for the work, eyewitnesses told the police. The animosity is suspected to have spurred the attack on Thursday.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
