A man was seriously injured after being assaulted by a four-member gang at Tiruttani railway station, triggering fresh concerns over passenger safety at the busy transit point.
The victim, identified as Jamaal, a resident of Nehru Nagar in Tiruttani in Tiruvallur district, is engaged in the business of buying and selling old silk sarees. According to local sources, Jamaal was standing on the railway station premises when he was suddenly attacked by a group of four men, who allegedly struck him on the head, causing severe injuries.
Bystanders at the station intervened and alerted the police. Following a complaint from members of the public, police rushed to the spot and admitted Jamaal to the Tiruttani Government Hospital for treatment. His condition was described as serious. Police have registered a case and are continuing their investigation into the incident.
The assault has intensified public anxiety, coming just days after a migrant worker was brutally attacked in the same locality by ganja-addicted teenage school dropouts. That incident had already drawn attention to rising street violence in the area.
In the wake of the latest attack, railway passengers have raised questions over safety at Tiruttani railway station, asking whether the premises have become an unsafe place for commuters. Calls for increased police presence and preventive measures at the station have grown louder following the back-to-back incidents.
