Armed gang attacks trio at Salem court

Three people, who had arrived at a court complex here Monday for a hearing in a property dispute case, were attacked by an armed gang, the police said.

The gang attacked Suresh, Perumal and Chakravarthy with sickles, they said. The assailants fled the scene after people in the complex raised an alarm, they said.

Checkpoints have been alerted to catch the culprits, the police said, adding that the injured have been admitted to a government hospital.
