A video of a man running amok with a machete/sickle in his hand charging at people has been going viral on social media.
The man, identified as Vetrichelvan, is the husband of Nithya, who is a DMK councillor from South Thathamangalam in Manachanellur block.
According to reports, Vetrichelva runs a Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation Limited (TASMAC) liquor unit. He had borrowed ₹2.60 lakh from Gunasekaran and had not returned the money. Gunasekaran who had earlier gone to ask for money from Vetrichelvan was threatened by the DMK councillor’s husband.
When he tried to confront him on Wednesday again, Vetrichelvan charged at him and his brothers with a machete to chase them away. This video has now gone viral on social media.
Siruganoor Police have initiated an investigation into the incident.
