‘It was a minor incident. The bull just brushed against the minister and he suffered a scratch,’ police said. The Union Minister was on his way to a function at a nearby town when he stopped his convoy on being informed that villagers of Kulamanickam were waiting to meet him, they said.
The villagers presented a petition urging Radhakrishnan to take steps for lifting the ban on ‘jallikattu’ ñ conducted traditionally during Pongal festival - and were talking to him, when a bull standing nearby brushed against his arm. Radhakrishnan later continued on with his journey, police said.
