Two brothers J. Muthuvel, 27, and Maharajan, 25, of Rayapuram near Vadipatti allegedly assaulted two persons of the same locality as one of them refused to marry off his daughter to the elder brother on Saturday.
The girl’s father, P. Balamurugan, 38, and his neighbour, C. Susi, 60, have been admitted to Government Rajaji Hospital in Madurai.
The police said that Muthuvel had knocked down Balamurugan when he was riding his bike on Friday evening.
When Balamurugan questioned him, he threatened with dire consequences to his daughter who had refused to reciprocate when he proposed to her.
The girl had said that Muthuvel had visited her at her college and insisted that she should love him and harassed him.
