Chennai, Nov 10 (NationPress) In a disturbing event that transpired in plain sight, a 25-year-old realtor was savagely murdered by a five-member gang within the police quarters in Tamil Nadu's Tiruchy on Monday morning.
This attack has left the city in utter shock, occurring close to the residential police facility at Marsingpettai and coinciding with Chief Minister M.K. Stalin's visit to Tiruchy.
As reported by police sources, locals on the Bheema Nagar Main Road observed a group of individuals wielding dangerous weapons in pursuit of a young man.
The frightened victim, identified as Thamaraiselvan, 25, a local realtor, fled towards the nearby police quarters in search of safety. However, the attackers relentlessly followed him and trapped him inside the premises before launching a brutal assault with sharp weapons.
Eyewitness accounts revealed the gang's audacity, as they showed no fear even within a police residential area.
"He dashed into the police quarters, crying for help, but the gang pursued him and struck him repeatedly," recounted a local resident.
The victim suffered numerous severe injuries, particularly to his head, and succumbed to his wounds on the spot before police could intervene.
While most of the assailants fled immediately after the attack, leaving residents and police in disbelief, vigilant members of the community managed to apprehend one of the attackers and turned him over to the authorities.
The suspect was taken into custody for questioning, and police have initiated an extensive manhunt to locate the remaining four gang members.
Senior police officials, including the Tiruchy Commissioner of Police, quickly arrived at the scene to conduct an investigation. Forensic teams gathered evidence, and Thamaraiselvan's body was sent to the Government Medical College Hospital for a postmortem examination.
Initial inquiries suggest that the murder may be connected to a past dispute, potentially linked to real estate transactions, although police have not dismissed other possible motives.
Considering that the incident coincided with Chief Minister Stalin's official visit to the city, additional security measures were promptly enacted across Tiruchy to avert any further unrest. Police have filed a murder case and are exploring all potential angles to unveil the motive behind this brutal daylight attack.
