Summary:
Desperate attempts by the police, with the help of the Alanganallur jallikattu organising committee members, to disperse the protesters from the arena failed until late in the evening. Mugilan, along with nearly 70 people, marched towards the jallikattu arena and courted arrest. Meanwhile, around 1,000 people from nearby Pudupatti village took out a procession with two jallikattu bulls towards Alanganallur, joined later by a large group of youngsters. Up in Arms: Jallikattu supporters staging a stir at Alanganallur in Madurai on Monday to protest against the ban on the bull-taming sport. As they insisted on bringing the bulls to the already crowded arena in Alanganallur, the police resorted to a lathicharge, in which at least 10 people sustained injuries..
