BSP Tamil Nadu Chief Hacked To Death By 6 Men On Bikes In Chennai

The attack was carried out near the Bahujan Samaj Party leader's house.

In a brazen attack, the Tamil Nadu chief of the Bahujan Samaj Party was hacked to death by six bike-borne men near his house in Chennai on Friday. 

The six men attacked Armstrong when he was having a discussion with a few party functionaries near his house in the city's Sembium area and then fled. The family rushed him to a hospital, but he was declared brought dead.

Police officials said this could be a revenge murder, linked to the killing of a gangster, Arcot Suresh, last year. A senior police officer told NDTV, "We are conducting an investigation. The murder seems to be linked to an earlier killing."
