Police sources said here on Thursday that the trio picked up a quarrel with the victim, identified as R.Ayyasamy, a third year BSc Mathematics student of Government Arts College at Sivaganga, after a Royal Enfield motorbike he was riding to his home from the college avoided hitting an elderly man who suddenly crossed the road.
