The Chromepet police have apprehended a 20-year-old man, T. Ashik from Kerala, in connection with the murder of a second-year nursing student. Ashik had reportedly come to the city to meet the victim, described as his girlfriend, and the two stayed at a lodge for two days. Concerns arose when the student missed classes and could not be reached by phone.
Roommates, growing suspicious, discovered a disturbing photo of the deceased posted by Ashik. Swift police action led to the arrest of the accused at Chromepet railway station as he attempted to flee the scene. The motive behind the murder remains under investigation as authorities work to piece together the details of this tragic incident.
