The attack, which occurred around 11 am inside the indoor nets at the CAP complex, resulted in Venkataraman suffering a head injury that required 20 stitches and a fractured shoulder, according to an Indian Express report. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Confirming the incident, Sub-Inspector S Rajesh said, \u201cVenkataraman received 20 stitches on his forehead, but he is stable. The said players are absconding, and we are trying to track them. Further details will be revealed in due course.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
An FIR has been lodged at Sedarapet police station. In his complaint, Venkataraman named three local players: senior cricketer Karthikeyan Jayasundaram and first-class players A. Aravinddaraj and S. Santhosh Kumaran, as the assailants. He also claimed that G. Chandran, secretary of the Bharathidasan Pondicherry Cricketers\u2019 Forum, instigated the trio.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
According to the report, Venkataraman said in his complaint, \u201cAround 11 am on December 8, 2025, I was in the indoor nets inside the CAP complex before Pondicherry senior cricketers Karthikeyan, Aravinddaraj and Santhosh Kumaran came and began to abuse me, insisting that I was the reason for their non-selection in the SMAT (Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy) squad. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Bharathidasan Pondicherry Cricketers\u2019 Forum's Senthil Kumaran, however, denied the allegations against Chandran, saying, \u201cVenkataraman has a documented history of several cases against him. He has often been known to behave rudely with local cricketers, using obscene language. His grudge against Chandran is also well-known, considering that we have repeatedly raised several issues within the CAP to the BCCI over the last seven years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
