The police said the accused identified as Prasanth, Thirumoorthy and Kattimuthu belong to Perambalur and were working in Chennai.
As the Covelong Point Surf, Music and Yoga Festival is back in Chennai after being stalled for two years because of the Covid-related restrictions, organisers are expecting a huge turnout not only from Chennai but also from other cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Puducherry, where it is popular. The festival will take place from August 5 to 7 at Surf Turf on the Kovalam beach in Tamil Nadu’s Chengalpattu district.
