Patamata Circle inspector V. Pavan Kishore said the cause of the death can only be known after the incident is reported. “We are waiting for a report,” the CI, who visited the crime scene, told the Hindu.
“The incident occurred in the busy car Nagar area. The incident occurred just one pole from the Patamata police station. Boozers occupied the road, hindered traffic and caused inconvenience to passers-by,” said a car driver.
“Although hotels are consuming alcohol on the road, it has not disturbed some hotels. The public consumes alcohol on road dividers and open areas, causing panic in the local area. Recent events have shown that women in the area are lacking in safety.”
“Brattle is common in hotels and tea stalls. There is no vigil, and the rush will continue until midnight. Although the hotel is close to the police station, there is no patrol,” Rama Krishna said.
