10 arrested for gang rivalry

The arrest included Sridhar (45) and Prem (27) of different areas in Vellore town. Of the others arrested, six persons were below 21 years and 2 were juveniles.

Fight between the two gang intensified when the car of Gokul (30) and Tamilmani (27), sons of GG Ravi, a rowdy, was attacked and petrol bombs were hurled at the car by two unidentified two-wheeler borneassailants.

Though the brothers escaped without major injury, it resulted in a skirmish between two rival gangs.

As a result, the window panes of a private lodge in which the duo sought refuge and vehicles were damaged by the group, said to be the maha gang.

While the cops had earlier arrested 7 persons, they were also searching for 10 others who were arrested on Thursday. After a Vellore court remanded Sridhar and Prem, both were lodged in the Vellore central prison and the other 6 were sent to borstal school.

The two juveniles were sent to a government rehabilitation home. Police are still searching for the leaders of the gang in this connection. Investigations are underway.
