Rowdy hacked to death
Killed in Mannady while returning from court
A 24-year-old rowdy, who was returning after appearing in the George
Town Court, was hacked to death in broad daylight in Mannady on
Wednesday evening.
The police identified the deceased as Vijayakumar alias Viji of Pallavan Nagar Street in Washermanpet. He worked as a mechanic in Kasimedu and had several assault cases against him.
Police said that Viji took up odd jobs as a boat mechanic in the Kasimedu fishing harbour.
He also had several criminal cases, including an attempt to murder case against him. Senior police officers claimed that he had appeared in court in connection with a pending case against him.
“When he was walking on Pavalakaran Street, a six-member gang intercepted him. Seeing them, Viji took to his heels. However, the gang caught up with him and hacked him with sharp weapons. He tried to enter a lorry shed, but was badly injured at the entrance itself. The gang then fled the spot,” said a senior police officer. Residents in the area were shocked after the incident.
The police have collected CCTV footage, which shows the gang chasing Viji and attacking him. “We suspect the gang to be from Kasimedu as Viji had enmity with a group there,” said the officer.
