The Saravanampatti police on Sunday arrested three persons on charges of attempting to murder a Tasmac supervisor on the night of November 13.

S. Isakkimuthu (21) of Chinna Mettupalayam, his relatives S. Isakkipandi (23) of Srivaikuntam in Thoothukudi and A. Vanupandyan (20) of Nanguneri in Tirunelveli were arrested for attempting to murder V. Chidambaram (44), a native of Pudukkottai who resides at Kasthuribai Street in Ganapathy. The police said that Mr. Chidrambaram, supervisor in a Tasmac outlet at Idikarai, was waylaid by three men when he was returning home on November 13.
