Police have arrested Killers of rowdy, his advocate

Chennai suburban police have arrested four persons in the murder of a notorious rowdy and his advocate near the Poonamallee Court complex recently.

The rowdy Chenna alias Chennakesavalu and his advocate were hacked to death by a 10-member gang while he was having lunch in his car near the court complex where he had come for a trial in an explosives case on 30 April.

Speaking to reporters today, Suburban Police Commissioner S R Jangid said six special teams, formed to catch the culprits, apprehended the four near suburban Parivakkam. Interrogations with them revealed that they were associates of rowdy ‘Arcot’ Suresh, key accused in a murder case.

The murder was a fallout of a personal enmity between ‘Arcot’ Suresh and Chenna, he said and added that the duo had constant trouble for more than 15 years since the former’s wife Anjalai eloped with Chenna.

The Commissioner said that over 21 persons were involved in the whole murder plan however only nine of them were present on the scene of crime. ‘We are on the lookout for 17 more persons who were involved in the crime. We have seized a motorcycle, a car and three sickles from the accused,’ he said.

The arrested were Velmurugan (24) of Nandambakkam, Rakesh (24) of K K Nagar, Satheesh (23) of Kunrathur and Raji (23) of Nandambakkam.

Chenna was residing in Chennai for the past 18 years and set up a gas agency at Pulianthope, he said and added that Chenna was arrested by the police in about 23 criminal offences, most of which ended in acquittal.

He was involved in the murder case of one Vijayakumar in Egmore Court in year 1996 and two other murder case in 2006. He was detained under the Goondas Act in 1994, 1996 and 2003.

‘Arcot’ Suresh was an accused in the murder case of one Srinivasan in Vijayawada in 2002 and Paramasivam of Kancheepuram.
