A tragic event occurred at the Mallipattanam Government School in Tamil Nadu’s Thanjavur district on Wednesday, where a 26-year-old teacher named Ramani was brutally attacked by a 30-year-old man, Madhan. Authorities suspect that the attack was motivated by Ramani’s refusal of Madhan’s marriage proposal.

Madhan Arrested and Under Investigation
In the aftermath of the attack, local police quickly apprehended Madhan and have started their interrogation.
