The people of three villages ‘Edankondampattu’, ‘Kullanchavadi’ and ‘Kurinjippadi’of Cuddalore District, in Tamil Nadu have experienced a very strange but a horrible and terrific experience for the past three weeks or so, as we see or heard in an English novel or a movie of suspense thriller. Only during night hours especially during midnight, a strange animal or a humanbeing, violently attacked the village people who were sleeping outside their house and the people could not trace or identify the attacker and they were not clear about it since they were attacked only when they were in deep sleep.Moreover, the victims who suffered violent attacks, some times got heavily injured, sometimes they were dead. In three such separate incidents that took place in three villages, three persons were killed and the dead bodies were found either from a dilapidated well or from a bush.
The village people were panick-stricken and they even began to maintain night vigil in groups bearing torches in their hand.They also protested over the inaction on the part of the police authorities.
At last the Tamil Nadu police on Friday claimed that they had finally arrested the real accused who had killed at least three persons in the Cuddalore District.
The police said that one Saravanan, aged 28, arrested on Thursday night was behind the random killings in the District.He was from nearby Chidamabaram taluk and had a tendency of becoming violent after smoking and drinking.He was mentally deranged.He left his house nearly three weeks ago and was attacking people of some of the villages in Cuddalore Taluk. At least three villagers were found dead in the district under mysterious circumstances.All of them were attacked when they were asleep, the police claimed.
At last the people of the above mentioned villages felt relieved and secured and heaved a sigh of relief.
