Police said constable Manikandan had been admitted to a hospital in serious condition and the organisers of the jallikattu in Thennur village were absonding.
The constable attached to the Iluppur station in the district was deputed to stop the organisers from holding the Jallikattu event.

After first aid, he was rushed to a private hospital in Tiruchirappalli for further treatment.
Police registered a case and were searchin for the organisers of the event.
