CHENNAI: Two days after two men assaulted a 47-year-old woman and her daughter in Vellala Street in Aminjikarai, police on Sunday claimed to have cracked the case with the arrest of three persons.

The suspects are Anthony Kumar (36) of Pulianthope Balaji (23) of Nammalwarpet and Sellappa (45). According to police sources, Anthony Kumar and Balaji were called in for an inquiry by Pulianthope patrol police while they were roaming suspiciously.
