Thiruvannamalai: Four men were thrashed by a mob in Tamil Nadu’s Thiruvannamalai village after they attempted to sexually assault a minor girl heading to the fields to relieve herself.
The men, claiming to be wood cutters, were camped at Thiruvannamalai’s Chengam village. Chengam lacks adequate toilets, forcing people to use open fields for defacation. The school girl too, was on her way to the fields when the men had allegedly abducted her and took her to a nearby field.
The men were spotted by an old lady who immediately alerted the villagers. An angry group of villagers surrounded the area, caught the men in the act and began thrashing the four.
