Seven Arrested for Deadly Attack in Nanguneri Village, Investigation Underway

Seven individuals, including four teenagers, were arrested for an indiscriminate attack in Perumpaththu village near Nanguneri on March 2, which left two men dead—a person with disabilities from a Scheduled Caste community and a migrant laborer—and injured six others. The assailants reportedly used sickles and fled the scene. Police investigations are ongoing, with authorities denying caste-related motives despite local tensions and protests linking the attack to prior incidents involving petrol bombs.
