Gang kills man after his brother objects to harassment in Chennai
CHENNAI: A 35-year-old daily wage labourer was allegedly beaten to death by a gang at Tiruvottiyur after his younger brother confronted them for harassing a college student. Four men have been arrested and remanded in judicial custody.
The deceased, Muniswaran of Sathangadu, was walking near the Annamalai railway gate around midnight on August 29 when the gang intercepted him, police said. The incident followed an altercation earlier that night involving Muniswaran’s younger brother Sunil (22).
Police said the gang initially mistook Muniswaran for Sunil. They realised during the conversation that he was Sunil’s elder brother.
