COIMBATORE: The Selvapuram police on Saturday arrested two people, including a minor, for hurling a petrol bomb at a 54-year-old woman following a petty quarrel.
Police identified them as V Puviyarasu, 19, of North Housing Unit at Selvapuram and a 17-year-old Selvapuram resident. They had attacked K Vasuki of Mahaliamman Temple Street at Selvapuram.
“On Friday around 9pm, Vasuki, who was returning from a temple, saw Afsal, a local resident, kicking her neighbour’s dog, which was tied to her gate. When she raised an alarm, Afsal managed to escape from the place. Vasuki and her neighbours questioned a 17-year-old boy who was with Afsal. The boy said that Afsal kicked the dog after it barked at them. Vasuki threatened to handover the duo to police if the dog is attacked again,” a police officer said.
