A shop owner from Aaduthurai has alleged that he and his family members were assaulted by a gang led by a local man over refusal to pay “mamool” (extortion money), and has sought immediate police action.
According to the complaint, the victim, who runs Eswar Utensils Shop in Aaduthurai, stated that a man identified as Chandran had been repeatedly visiting the shop over the past few months and allegedly demanding protection money. When the family refused to pay, Chandran allegedly arrived at the shop along with his son, a relative identified as Edison, said to be a TVK branch secretary, and a gang of around 10 to 15 people.
The complainant alleged that the group attacked him and his family members and also snatched Rs. 68,500 before fleeing from the spot.
The victim further stated that his father, who had previously undergone heart surgery and has a medical device implanted in his chest, was also assaulted during the incident. His younger brother reportedly suffered severe blood loss in the attack.
All the injured persons have been admitted to the Government Hospital in Kumbakonam for treatment.
The family has urged the police to register a case and take swift action against those involved in the alleged attack and robbery.
