Man held for threatening Tasmac staff

Coimbatore: A 25-year-old Puliakulam resident was arrested for threatening a Tasmac shop employee with a knife on Tuesday night.
Kulandhai Raj, who was heavily drunk, had staggered into the liquor outlet on Sowripalayam Road and had demanded brandy. When salesman Murugesan asked him to pay for the liquor, Raj reportedly refused, and a verbal argument broke out.
After Raj turned violent, Murugesan contacted the Ramanathapuram police requesting immediate assistance. Raj, who came to know about it, brandished a knife and threatened the salesman. Police arrived minutes later and took Raj into custody.
