Police get permission to interrogate 4 more suspects in BSP leader’s murder case
The suspects — Ponnai Balu, Arul, Ramu alias Vinoth, and Hariharan — were produced before the magistrate court in Egmore
A magistrate court on Monday permitted the custodial interrogation of four suspects who were arrested in the murder of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader K. Armstrong. He was hacked to death by a gang in Perambur on July 5.
The police have arrested more than 15 suspects in connection with the murder so far. Last week, the police moved a petition seeking the custodial interrogation of four suspects, namely Ponnai Balu, Arul, Ramu alias Vinoth, and Hariharan. They were produced before the magistrate court in Egmore. After the hearing, the police were given five-day custody of Hariharan and three-day custody of the others.
Meanwhile, the police are looking for two history sheeters — ‘Seizing’ Raja and Sambo Santhil — who had a rivalry with Armstrong, and another history-sheeter ‘Bomb’ Saravanan, brother of Thennarasu, BSP Tiruvallur district president, who was murdered by Arcot Suresh.
Earlier this month, Thiruvenkadam, one of the suspects in the case, was killed in an encounter after he escaped from police custody while being taken to recover the murder weapon.
