A drunken man allegedly killed a cat in a brutal act at a TASMAC bar on the Andipatti–Theppapatti Road, within the limits of the Rajathani police station, triggering outrage and leading to police action.
According to the police, the incident occurred when a group of friends were consuming liquor at the bar. One of them, identified as Kannan of South Mooanandipatti, allegedly caught a cat that had wandered into the premises and repeatedly flung it against a wall. Despite warnings from his friends, he allegedly picked up the animal again as it writhed in pain and hurled it onto the floor, killing it on the spot.
When a bar employee, Chandrasekaran, questioned the act, he was allegedly assaulted by the group. Another worker, Chellapandi, who attempted to intervene and pacify them, was also beaten up. Both injured employees were admitted to the Theni Government Medical College Hospital for treatment.
Based on a complaint lodged by Chandrasekaran, the Rajathani police arrested one Naveen in connection with the incident and said efforts were under way to trace and arrest the remaining accused. Further investigation is in progress.
