Erode, September 13: In a shocking incident, a 38-year-old allegedly attacked his 35-year-old friend with a boulder after catching him with his wife at their home near Bhavanisagar in Erode district. The deceased, K Chandran, was reportedly involved in an affair with the accused’s wife, Sinthamani, following both men’s release from prison after serving time for a double murder case in 2017.
