The city police have launched a ‘manhunt’ for a nude man who had been pelting stones at parked cars and also at two-wheeler riders in the middle of the night in the posh Alwarpet, and Teynampet neighbourhoods during the last few months.
Chennai:
Though Teynampet police station officers were receiving information about people spotting a nude man, probably mentally disturbed, creating ruckus on road by pelting stones at two-wheeler riders and also at parked cars, an official complaint was lodged at the station on Tuesday by a woman Congress party functionary who claimed that her parked car was damaged by an unidentified person.
This led the cops to browse the CCTV cameras and they found a nude man roaming on the roads in Teynampet and Alwarpet areas.
“It looks like he had damaged nearly 35 cars. Once a night patrol team had spotted him, but they could not catch hold of him because he was nude and rough. He would start laughing wildly and then pick a stone and throw it at you. There is no trace of him during the daytime,” police sources said.
In one video grab, two persons on a two-wheeler were seen speeding away when the nude man tried to pelt stone at him.
