The child suffered burns in her mouth and fainted as soon as Bhavani administered the acid. Immediately, the child was rushed to a hospital here from where she was referred to Children’s Hospital.

In the evening, a complaint was lodged by Sandhya’s parents against the provisions store owner, Perumal was arrested by the police.

Twenty-three bundles of scratch-type lottery tickets were seized from near a goods transport booking office on Railway Road here on Wednesday.

According to police, the parcels booked in the name of a mobile phone shop owner at Vandavasi in Tiruvannamalai district reached the lorry booking office here on Tuesday from New Delhi.

On receiving the information about the parcel, a mobile shop owner sent two persons to Kancheepuram to receive the parcels and bring them to Vandavasi using a mini-van.

Meanwhile, the police received a tip-off that lottery tickets were being smuggled through a particular road transport company.

A team of plain-clothed sleuths raided the lorry booking office, seized the lottery ticket bundles and arrested the two persons engaged in transporting the bundles to Vandavasi.
