Police sources said here on Thursday that the trio picked up a quarrel with the victim, identified as R.Ayyasamy, a third year BSc Mathematics student of Government Arts College at Sivaganga, after a Royal Enfield motorbike he was riding to his home from the college avoided hitting an elderly man who suddenly crossed the road.
When Ayyasamy questioned the elderly man for crossing the road without noticing the movement of the vehicles, the three youths who were standing nearby allegedly abused him with Caste slur and ridiculed him for ‘riding a costly motorbike.’
