Three people have been arrested following the death of a Special Sub-Inspector of Police in Tamil Nadu’s Theni district after an altercation with a group of youngsters who were bursting firecrackers on a public road.

The deceased officer, Senthil Kumar, 56, was attached to the office of the Deputy Superintendent of Police in Theni. According to reports published on November 9, he was returning home after duty on Sunday night, November 8, when he noticed youngsters bursting crackers on a public road in the Samatharmapuram area.

The officer reportedly asked them to clear the road to prevent inconvenience to the public. He also attempted to record their activities on his mobile phone and contacted the police control room.

During the ensuing confrontation, when he reportedly attempted to apprehend one of the youngsters, another person allegedly struck him with an elbow. Senthil Kumar collapsed at the scene.

A police patrol team reached the location and took him to hospital. He later died despite medical attention.

Theni district police arrested three local persons in connection with the incident. Superintendent of Police K.S. Praveen Gowtham visited the scene and reviewed the investigation. Police also examined CCTV footage as part of the inquiry.

Reports said Senthil Kumar had a history of heart-related ailments. However, the precise medical cause of death is subject to post-mortem findings and further investigation. It would therefore be premature to conclude that a single alleged act directly caused his death.

The incident has raised concerns about public safety during festival celebrations, particularly when fireworks are used on roads and other public spaces.

Police investigations are continuing, and further details are expected as the authorities establish the sequence of events and the role of those arrested.
