Chennai: The Police on Thursday arrested three persons in connection with the murder of a 43-year-old man, who was attacked by a gang near Perambur a week ago.
Tailor Madhubala Rao had succumbed to his injuries at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital on Tuesday. He was found in a pool of blood on Ponnappa Street in Perambur on September 21.
Police said he was returning home when a five-member gang intercepted him and attacked him with an iron rod. Sembium police, who were investigating the case, altered it to murder and rounded up three persons in connection with the murder — Palanisamy (32), Dinesh (23) and Satish (23) of Sharma Nagar in Vyasarpadi.
Investigations revealed that a brawl in a Tasmac bar among the deceased and the gang led to the murder. On September 20, Rao was consuming liquor at a Tasmac bar when, in an inebriated condition, he spit on Palanisamy and his friends. A brawl ensued and the staff pacified them. However, when the group faced off with Rao the very next day, words were exchanged, following which the gang followed Madhubala Rao and attacked him.
