The Hindu Munnani had organised a procession for the immersion of Vinayagar idols on September 5. During the procession, the members entered a hosiery unit with the idol and asked for donation which was refused. They immediately attacked the employees at the hosiery unit in Angeripalayam.
A case had been registered against 20 members of the Hindu Munnani, out of which four are arrested.
