Madurai: Jallikattu spectator killed by bull

Palamedu, Madurai: A 23-year-old spectator was gored to death as taming the bull festival Jallikattu claimed this season's first victim in Madurai on Friday.  

Although the Supreme Court had made it mandatory to erect double barricading of the arena, onlookers say the tail end was left unprotected.

On Monday close to one lakh people will congregate at Alanganallur to watch this controversial ancient sport of valour.
