Man mixes pesticide in tank, held

Kannappan (43) of Raja Colony near Collectorate and his relative Kasirajan (64) were running a hotel in Tiruchy. The police said that there was a dispute between the business partners and were planning to split.

During an altercation, Kasirajan reportedly threatened Kannappan that he would mix poison in his water tank.
