The Coimbatore City Police have arrested a mobile phone retailer on the charge of assaulting a CRPF constable on Sunday.

The constable sustained injuries and had been admitted to the Coimbatore Medical College Hospital. Based on his complaint, the Big Bazaar Street police registered a case and arrested Ali.
