The Kumbakonam police have filed a case against Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katch (VCK) functionary for harboring four rowdies who were being sought by the police in connection with an assault near the new bus stand.

Two weeks ago, Vishwa was riding his motorcycle near the new bus stand in Fathimapuram, within the jurisdiction of Kumbakonam West Police Station, suffered serious injuries in an assault by a group of four individuals. An investigation was promptly launched based on Vishwa’s complaint at Kumbakonam West Police Station. Authorities were actively pursuing four suspects in connection with the incident, Gail Antony, Arnold Antony, Arunkumar, and Paulsamy.

Meanwhile, confidential information indicated that Alex, the spouse of Kumbakonam Corporation 24th Ward Councilor Rubinsha and a VCK functionary, was harboring dangerous weapons in his residence. Subsequently, police sought a court warrant to conduct a search of Alex’s house.

Following court approval, more than 10 officers led by Police Inspector Jagatheesan from Kumbakonam West Police Station conducted a thorough search at Alex’s residence a few days ago. During the search, various weapons including knives, sickles, and iron rods were discovered under the bed in one of the bedrooms. These items were seized by the police, who continued their search. At that time, Gail Antony, Arnold Antony, Arun Kumar, and Paulsamy, wanted for attempted murder, were found hiding under the bed and were subsequently apprehended.
