IndiaAn advocate named A. Sheik Sulthan, who was booked in a goat theft case in 2025, has been appointed as a government pleader in Tirupattur by the TVK-led State government. The case involved a 65-year-old goat farmer, S. Anjala, whose goat was stolen and captured on CCTV showing Sulthan taking it. The police have registered a case against Sulthan and his accomplice under Section 303(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, with a trial ongoing.
