Two people were arrested on Sunday (March 23, 2025) for allegedly attacking a special sub-inspector (SSI) at Yercaud.
Murugan, an SSI attached to the Yercaud police station, was on his rounds on Saturday (March 22, 2025) evening near the Shervaroyan temple when he found two people consuming alcohol in parked a van in the locality.
When the SSI asked the duo to move from the spot, they picked up an argument with him and attacked him, the police said. The SSI sustained injuries to his left hand and was admitted to the Yercaud Government Hospital.
The Yercaud police registered a case and arrested J. Silambarasan, 32, and K. Praveen Kumar, 28, both residents of Melalagapuram in Yercaud. They work as drivers. On Sunday, the duo were remanded in prison.
