The six-day-long hunt for the prime accused in the Adaimithippaankulam stone quarry accident that has claimed three lives so far ended on Friday, with a police team arresting ‘Chamber’ Selvaraj, 84, owner of Venkateshwara Stone Crusher, and his son Kumar, 52, at a lodge in Mangaluru, Karnataka.
The father and the son, hailing from Thisaiyanvilai in Tirunelveli district, had switched off their mobile phones to avoid being tracked. However, the police traced them by tracking the mobile phone numbers of their close relatives, associates and friends. Mr. Selvaraj is a Congress functionary.
