Youth Attacked with Beer Bottle and Machete Near Aashirvaad Hotel

In a shocking incident near Aashirvaad Hotel on the evening of August 5, two individuals attempted to murder 35-year-old Datthesh, a resident of Thalapady. The attackers, identified as Shailesh from Devinagar, Talapady, and Ramith from Tacchani, confronted Datthesh while he was standing near the hotel.

Shailesh, armed with a machete, and Ramith, wielding a beer bottle, approached Datthesh. Ramith struck Datthesh on the head with the beer bottle, causing heavy bleeding and making him fall to the ground. Shailesh then used the machete to stab Datthesh in the neck, threatening to end his arrogance. The attackers fled the scene in their car, leaving the injured Datthesh behind.

Bystanders immediately took Datthesh to a private hospital. The attack is reportedly linked to a dispute over auto rickshaw rentals involving Datthesh and Ramith’s uncle. Shailesh, who has a history of criminal cases registered at Barke and Bunder police stations and is known for his gang activities, recently moved to Devinagar, Talapady. Being a friend of Ramith, he assisted in the assault.

The police are investigating the incident and searching for the accused.
