Family locked inside, house set on fire in Tamil Nadu
Updated: 2019–12–30
CHENNAI: Unidentified persons locked a family of four inside their house in Pozhichalur and hurled firecrackers inside around 1.30am on Sunday.
Kannabiran, 52, a construction labourer, his wife Kasthuri and sons Manivannan and Sanjay, were asleep inside their house on Malli Managar Pallikooda street in Pozhichalur when some miscreants threw firecrackers inside the house and poured kerosene. When smoke filled the house, they tried to run out but realised they were locked from outside. As the fire spread and destroyed the house appliances, they cried for help.
Hearing the noise, neighbours rushed to their rescue and broke open the door. The family later found out that their two-wheelers parked outside had also been set ablaze.
The Sankar Nagar police have registered a case. Kannabiran suspects his brother Senthil, an auto driver, as there is an ongoing tussle between them over a property.
