A video clip showing a youth chasing another person with a weapon in the middle of a busy road in broad daylight has triggered fresh concerns over the deteriorating law-and-order situation in DMK-ruled Tamil Nadu.
The clip, reportedly from Trichy, shows a young man aggressively running on the road while shouting explicit death threats in Tamil – “If you are a man, come here”. The man is armed with a patta kathi (machete) and dangerously chasing another man in a public area.
While details are scarce, there is no clarity on the circumstances that led to the chase, the identities of those involved, or whether the police intervened. It is also not clear if the one wielding the machete was intoxicated.
