Three individuals were arrested on Monday by Kovalam police in connection with a pre-planned attempt to murder Dileep Kumar. The victim, a native of Kovalam, was attacked near the Karinkaali Devi Temple in the early hours of Thursday.
The accused, identified as Sarath, Vishnu, and Rajesh, reportedly acted on personal enmity towards Kumar.
