A dispute over slow driving on Wednesday morning near Mannivakkam led to a severe confrontation, during which a father and his son allegedly threatened a bus driver with a gun. The incident involved Devadas, 75, a businessman, and his son Arjun, 33, who were driving to their agricultural land. They encountered a bus carrying workers and became impatient with its speed.
Devadas reportedly honked repeatedly at the bus driven by Manikandan, 33, as it did not yield. The initial argument quickly escalated into a physical scuffle. During the altercation, Devadas allegedly produced a firearm and threatened the bus driver. Fearing for his safety, Manikandan alerted the Manimangalam police.
Authorities have since detained Devadas and Arjun. They are currently undergoing questioning as part of an ongoing investigation into the alleged gun threat and the subsequent altercation. Further details are expected as the police continue their inquiry into the matter.
