Three injured in attack by a political party workers

Three persons were today injured, in an attack allegedly by workers of a political outfit, an ally of ruling AIADMK, on some medical representatives over parking of vehicles in Ramnagar here.
Police said the trouble broke out when some 'Tamil Nadu Kongu Ilaignar Peravai' cadres noticed a few two-wheelers, parked on the roadside, blocking the way to the office of their leader and MLA, U Thaniyarasu and reportedly shifted them, causing damage.
Even as an argument ensued between the medical representatives, who owned the vehicles and workers, some persons came in a car with weapons like sickles and sticks and started attacking them besides passers-by, police said.

Three medical representatives were injured and hospitalised, while 12 persons belonging to Peravai were taken into custody for questioning, they said.
City Police Commissioner A K Vishwanathan and Deputy Commissioner Ramya Bharathi visited the spot and adequate police personnel have been deployed.
