A shocking incident involving the family of Tamil actress Deepa has sparked concern among her fans and residents of Thoothukudi. Deepa, known for films such as 'Mayandi Kudumbathar,' 'Kadaikutty Singam,' 'Doctor,' and the recent hit 'Karuppu,' is facing personal turmoil after her father, Pulavar Ganesan, was assaulted by a group of unidentified men in a crowded area. The attack has become a major topic of discussion in the district.
Possible Motive Behind the Attack
Pulavar Ganesan, aged 72, is a well-known figure in Muthiahpuram. Besides being Deepa's father, he is actively involved in social and public activities. He serves as a local Congress functionary and is also associated with the administration of the Badrakali Amman Temple. According to reports, disagreements over temple matters and efforts to install a statue of former leader K. Kamaraj had led to friction with certain individuals in the area. Authorities are investigating whether these issues played a role in the attack.
Details of the Assault
The incident reportedly took place near a tea shop in the bustling Muthiahpuram bazaar area. Witnesses stated that a group arrived on a motorcycle and attacked Ganesan with sharp weapons before fleeing the scene. Bystanders rushed to help after hearing cries for assistance. Ganesan sustained several injuries, including wounds to his head and other parts of his body, and was immediately taken to the Thoothukudi Government Hospital, where he is currently undergoing treatment and is under medication.
Police Investigation and Arrests
A case has been registered, and the police have launched a thorough investigation. Three suspects have been arrested and are being interrogated at the station for their possible involvement in the attack. The assault has raised fears among politicians and citizens alike. Many of Deepa's fans have expressed solidarity with the actress, who recently appeared in the hit movie 'Karuppu'.
