  "account": "A 50-year-old tribal man, C. Duraisamy, was arrested in Kallathur village, situated atop Jawadhu Hills, by the Forest Department on Wednesday. He was accused of possessing a homemade gun and gunpowder on his farmland. The arrest came after a special team of forest officials, including S. Gunasekaran and Jayakumar, received a tip-off about the duo's illegal activities while patrolling the Pattaraikadu reserve forest in the hills. Upon noticing the forest team, Duraisamy and his accomplice, R. Govindaraj, aged 30, attempted to flee. However, they were apprehended, and the gun and explosives were seized from Duraisamy. The accomplice, Govindaraj, remains at large. A case has been registered against Duraisamy, who has been taken to Central Prison in Vellore. Special teams are being formed to apprehend Govindaraj, and a probe into the incident is underway.",
