Agitated over this, a six-member gang, including Gowtham, Nitish Kumar and his father Selvakumar, hacked Mr. Premkumar on September 23. With grievous cut injuries, Mr. Premkumar was undergoing treatment at Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital, she said. We cannot even visit Mr. Premkumar at the hospital as the supporters of the assailants have camped on the hospital premises. As the police on duty at the main entrance of the Collectorate did not allow all of them to enter the Collector’s office to submit the petition, they sat on the road and started the dharna. Later, they were allowed to submit the petition at the Collector’s office.
