The 21 -year -old accused was shot at his knee by the police in Kanniyankouppam near Vriddhachalam in the Cuddalore district on Tuesday after he allegedly attacked two constables in an effort to avoid arrest.
The defendant, identified as K. Kandavel of Pazhamalanathar Nagar in Vriddhalam, along with his co -drifters Siva alias Murugan, 20, and Balaji, 21, in the same area, went on Tuesday to attack four people, including the TNSTC bus between 4 and 5:00.

The trio then stopped the government bus, which advanced to Kallakurichi and attacked the bus driver Ganesan with bottles and attacked Rajenriran and Sundaramoorty, who owned small shops in front of Vriddhamham General Hospital.
