Madurai:
A 26-year-old bull, who appeared invincible in taming nine bulls, succumbed to his injuries after being gored by a bull at a Jallikattu event at Palamedu in Madurai district on Monday, police said.
The tamer, identified as Aravind Raj of Palamedu, was taken to the Primary Health Center (PHC) for first aid and later referred to the Government Rajaji Medical College Hospital in Madurai.
A senior police officer said, “When he tried to hug the bull during the game, he got injured in his stomach.”
Arvind Raj was faster than the animals and displayed a unique skill in successfully taming the bull. The official said his name figured in the list of friars who adopted the highest number of bulls out of the nearly 800 bulls that were being released into the arena from the Vadivasal (entry point) since morning.
