DMK functionary stabbed to death in Tiruvannamalai village, property dispute suspected, police investigation ongoing.
A 52-year-old DMK functionary was stabbed by a gang that intercepted him on Pandimangalam Koot Road at Sholavaram village near Cheyyar town in Tiruvannamalai on Thursday.
Police said the deceased has been identified as C. Thirumalai, a father of two and deputy organiser of the farmers’ wing of DMK for north Tiruvannamalai. His wife T. Prabhavathi, 48, was former president of Ukkam Perumbakkam village panchayat. He was living with his family in the village.
Initial inquiry revealed that Thirumalai was returning by two-wheeler after appearing before a local court in an illegal mining case when a gang intercepted him and hacked him to death, before fleeing the spot.
Motorists and passers-by alerted Dusi police, who rushed to the spot with an ambulance. They shifted him to Government Medical College Hospital in Chengalpattu where doctors declared him dead on arrival.
Police said that Thirumalai and his family had a property dispute with his relatives. Both parties had lodged complaints against each other with the local police after clashing over the dispute last week. A case was registered by the Dusi police and a probe is under way.
