Summary
- Police shot a murder suspect who hurled a petrol bomb.
- The suspect was wanted for the killing of a man on Thursday night.

A police operation in Chennai resulted in a murder suspect being shot in the leg. The incident occurred near Ennore when the suspect, identified as Vicky, hurled a petrol bomb at a sub-inspector while attempting to evade arrest. Police stated the shooting was an act of self-defense.
Vicky was a wanted individual in connection with the brutal murder of 23-year-old Sathya on Thursday night. Sathya was reportedly hacked to death by a gang on motorcycles. Preliminary investigations suggest the murder was an act of revenge, as Sathya was allegedly involved in a previous killing.
The suspect is currently receiving treatment at Government Stanley Hospital under police guard. Law enforcement officials consider Vicky's arrest a crucial development and are continuing efforts to track down the other members of the gang believed to be involved in Sathya's death.
