A group brutally kills someone, The Chennai police are on high alert.
The Greater Chennai police have heightened their alert status following a brutal attack that resulted in the death of a man known as Suresh, or Arcot Suresh, who had a lengthy criminal record with over 30 cases, including homicides and extortion. The incident occurred in Srinivasa Puram, Chennai, where Suresh was riding as a passenger on a motorcycle with a friend. A group of six assailants confronted them.
In an attempt to escape, the two victims tried to flee, but they were viciously assaulted by the attackers, who eventually fled the scene when residents came to their aid, according to the police. Suresh sustained over 20 injuries and was rushed to Government Royapettah Hospital, where he sadly passed away.
In the aftermath of this incident, the police have intensified their surveillance efforts in various areas, particularly in and around Srinivasa Puram and other parts of Chennai. This heightened security is in response to Suresh’s notoriety as a criminal who had connections with multiple criminal groups. He was also allegedly involved in the murder of Kathiravan, a criminal who was a prime suspect in killing a former employee of the Kancheepuram Sankara Mutt, Sankararaman.
It is suspected that the attack on Arcot Suresh was orchestrated by a gang led by an individual named Ramani, who had previously been targeted by Suresh and his gang a few months earlier. Given Suresh’s extensive criminal network across Tamil Nadu, there are concerns of potential reprisals from his associates, prompting the deployment of a substantial police presence throughout Chennai.
