26 Oct
Summary
- A history-sheeter was hacked to death by a three-member gang.
- The victim was attacked shortly after signing at a crime branch office.
- David alias Udhayakumar, involved in real estate and criminal cases, was murdered.
A man identified as David alias Udhayakumar, aged 42, was fatally attacked by an unidentified three-member gang near Suramangalam in Salem on Monday. This incident occurred mere moments after David had signed at the crime branch office, a requirement for his anticipatory bail in a land fraud case.
David, who was active in real estate and had numerous criminal cases against him, including murder and attempt to murder charges, was an accused in a 2019 murder case. He was intercepted by the motorcycle-borne gang shortly after his daily signing at the crime branch office. The assailants repeatedly attacked him with deadly weapons before fleeing the scene.
Police have recovered David's body and sent it for postmortem examination. A case has been registered, and a manhunt has been launched to apprehend the perpetrators. The motive behind this violent crime remains unclear at this time.
