By Akshaya Nath: Three people were injured after hot oil was thrown at them in a restaurant near Tamil Nadu’s Chengalpattu by a few drunk men. The entire incident was caught on a CCTV camera in the shop and police arrested five people involved in the incident. Officials are on the lookout for one more absconding accused.
The incident took place in Madambakkam, near Selaiyur. Two men, Ajith and Karthik, had come to a fast food joint at around 10.30 am asking for four packets of chicken rice. The restaurant workers made the requested quantity and at the time of delivery, the two customers refused to pay and said that they would pay at a later time. The restaurant owner denied this.

Later, at around 11.15 pm, the two drunk men, along with four more friends, arrived at the fast food joint and started abusing the owner, his son and the staff there. As the argument became heated, one of the drunk men threw hot oil which was on the stove at the owner, his son and one of the workers standing near the counter.
They also threw the stove and utensils on the counter and fled from the place. The entire incident was caught on the CCTV camera in the shop.
Selaiyur police, who came to the spot upon receiving information, rescued Jayamani (59), his son Manikandan (29) and employee Nemraj (29) from Nepal and admitted them to a hospital for treatment.
