A 40-year-old man was allegedly beaten to death inside a Tasmac liquor shop in Tirunelveli Town on Monday, just hours after being released on bail.
According to sources, the deceased, Jeganathan (40), a lorry driver from Thenpathu, had been in judicial custody for six months following a domestic dispute with his wife. After securing bail, he visited a Tasmac liquor shop in the town, where he was allegedly consuming alcohol when an unidentified man picked a quarrel with him.
During the heated exchange, the assailant repeatedly attacked Jeganathan with an iron rod, leaving him in a pool of blood. He succumbed to his injuries on the spot.
