Police said the bulls suddenly ran amok, ploughing through the crowd, killing one Thangamani and critically injuring six others. Three persons who were watching the festival from the roof of a building also sustained serious injuries when the roof collapsed. All the critically injured were admitted to the BHEL [Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited] and government hospitals in Tiruchirapalli, the police said. About 750 bulls were brought from neighbouring Pudukkottai, Perambalur, Thanjavur and Tiruchirapalli for the festival. UNI |
