A man, who figured in a caste killing crime a few years ago, has been cited as a prime accused in an assault case in Ramanathapuram district.

Evidence, an NGO in Madurai, has in a press release on Friday stated that Chellamuthu (61), a Scheduled Caste, was working as a parotta master in a restaurant in Ramanathapuram. On September 13, when he was on duty, a person visited the restaurant at around 10 p.m. and indulged in a wordy altercation with Chellamuthu and ended up on assault with wooden logs.

When Chellamuthu had approached the police station, a policewoman had suggested him to approach the District Police Office and lodge a complaint.
