Six-member gang arrested for murder of history-sheeter in Chennai


A six-member gang allegedly murdered a 33-year-old resident of New Washermenpet on Tuesday (January 14, 2025) night to avenge the killing of a history-sheeter.

The Fishing Harbour police, after registering a case, arrested the six people on Wednesday (January 15, 2025).

A senior official from the City Police said the deceased R. Ulaganathan lived with his wife Malathi at Thideer Nagar in New Washermenpet. He has several cases pending against him at the local police station on charges of smuggling narcotics, assault, and causing public nuisance.

The gang in question, led by Vallarasu, the son of the another history-sheeter Desi alias Desingu, had a past enmity with Ulaganathan. Desi was murdered by a 10-member gang on April 24 last year, and Ulaganathan had given shelter to a few of the accused persons in Desi’s murder, including Gopi, Abhishek, and Venkatesh.

On Tuesday night, Vallarasu, along with five others, murdered Ulaganathan using deadly weapons, the police said. When his wife Malathi tried to stop the attack, she too was assaulted by the gang, resulting in serious injuries.

The couple’s neighbours rushed them to the Government Stanley Hospital for treatment, but Ulaganathan died on the way. Malathi has been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the hospital.

The Washermanpet Police Deputy Commissioner formed a special task force to investigate the crime, and arrested the six persons, including Vallarasu. The others have been identified as: Anthony (who has a criminal record at Kasimedu police station), Ebenezer, Ezhilarasan, Manoj, and Gunasekar.
