Youth arrested for trying to murder schoolboy near Coimbatore
Coimbatore: The Sulur police in Coimbatore district on Monday arrested a youth on charges of attempting to murder a schoolboy when the minor refused his homosexual advances.
The arrested youth has been identified as M Vasanthakumar, 23, of RR Kulam at Palladam in Tirupur district.
He is a butcher.
Vasanthakumar attempted to kill a 14-year-old boy, who was studying in Class VIII at a govt school and staying at a govt hostel at Samalapuram near Palladam in Tirupur district.
On Friday, he didn't go to school and was planning to go home. He asked for a lift from a motorcyclist. The motorcyclist asked the schoolboy if he wanted to roam around Somanur and surrounding areas with him on the motorcycle. The boy agreed.
The youth took the boy to a TASMAC outlet where he bought liquor and then to a dilapidated building at Kadampadi where he consumed it. He forced the boy to drink liquor.
"The youth showed pornographic videos to the boy and attempted homosexual activities with him. When the minor objected, the youth took a stone and struck on the back of the boy's head. The boy fell unconscious. He left the minor at the building and escaped," said Coimbatore district superintendent of police Dr P Karthikeyan.

The boy regained consciousness and managed to get out despite his injuries, eventually collapsing on the road. Locals alerted Sulur police who admitted him to the Coimbatore Medical College Hospital where his condition is now reported to be stable.
Initially, the boy claimed that four people on two motorcycles had kidnapped him. "We confirmed that the boy travelled with only one youth who has confessed to the crime," said the SP.
