The Greater Chennai City Police has zeroed in on the location of gangster ‘Sambhav’ Senthil, who has been operating out of the country and evading police custody for two decades. The police are in the process of issuing a Red Corner Notice against him.
Senthil is wanted in several criminal cases, including the murder of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader K. Armstrong in north Chennai in July this year.
City Police Commissioner A. Arun told The Hindu, “We have tracked him down; he was holed up in a place abroad. We have taken efforts to secure his custody and bring him to the city so he can be prosecuted in all the criminal cases pending against him.”
Senthil is classified as an A+ history-sheeter in H3 Tondiarpet police station in Washermenpet (police district), Tamil Nadu. An A+ history-sheeter refers to someone who has more than two murder cases against them. Senthil is suspected to have been involved in more than six murders, including the murder of Armstrong, besides attempted murders and extortion.

Senthil is known among gangs in Chennai as someone adept at sketching plans for various criminal operations and sending hirelings to carry them out, the police said. His actual name is A. Senthilkumaran, and he earned the moniker ‘Sambhav’ Senthil – or ‘Sambo’ – as he was known to “get things done,” i.e., carry out crimes with great precision.
Senthil was born into a business family from Thandupatthu village in Thoothukudi district. He has a law degree but he never practised law. He is officially a resident of Tondiarpet in Chennai.
