Chittoor Superintendent of Police Y. Rishant Reddy on July 6 (Thursday) clarified to the media that the Police Department had not taken up any mediation with the Tamil Nadu-based victims of physical and sexual abuse.
The two inter-State thieves— Vairamuthu and Ayyappa, both hailing from Tamil Nadu—were arrested in Puthalapattu mandal by special teams that were probing theft cases recently. Six suspects linked to the case were questioned in the presence of the village elders. They were served 41A notices before being handed over to the Uthangarai Police in Tamil Nadu.
