Gang targets prisoner, ends up attacking his friends in Chennai
CHENNAI: A gang planning to exact revenge on a history-sheeter ended up attacking his friends by mistake, unaware that their target was still in prison.
The incident happened on Thursday evening, as the gang intercepted the car carrying the friends of history-sheeter Masilamani from Kolathur near Puzhal police station and attacked them with knives, leaving one of them injured. Two others escaped by running into a nearby police station.
The police have arrested two members — Kolathur Vali (20) and Naresh (18) — and are on the hunt for others. The attack is suspected to be in revenge for the murder of a rowdy at the Kilpauk MCH last January.
