CHENNAI: A 33-year-old man who went to his ex-wife’s home in Korukkupet asking her to repay the loan she took from him was allegedly attacked by the woman’s new husband, who threw a brick at him.

The injured man, Seniappan is a resident of J J Nagar, D street in Korukkupet. He got married to a woman, 10 years younger than him, but the two separated within six months of marriage.

RK Nagar Police registered a case and have arrested Naveenkumar. He was produced before a magistrate and remanded in custody. Police said that the woman was also injured and she has filed a complaint against Seniappan, based on which a case has been registered.
