The Kaveripattinam Police have registered cases under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and Indian Penal Code against one Annamalai on charges of abusing and beating a Dalit boy, C. Illavarasan, at Surilihalli village in Krishnagiri district on Thursday. According to a complaint lodged with the police, Annamalai was upset with Illavarasan for allegedly waving at his daughter while she was travelling in a bus between Sappanipatti to Surulihalli, along with the boy's cousin.

The boy was admitted to the Kaveripattiam Government Hospital for treatment.
Police said cases under Section 3(1) of the SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities Act) and Sections 294 B (resorting to obscene act in public place) of the IPChave been registered against Annamalai.
