In a gruesome act of revenge, a history-sheeter named Sezhian, aged 52, was hacked to death by a gang of six in Red Hills. Sezhian, connected to two murder cases and employed at a private firm in Vadaperumbakkam, fell victim to the attack when he sought shelter from the rain by the roadside. The assailants, arriving on bikes, wielded knives in the assault before swiftly fleeing the scene.
Passers-by alerted the police, and Sezhian was rushed to Government Stanley Hospital, where he was declared dead. Investigations revealed that Sathishkumar and three others were seeking vengeance for the 2001 murder of Prabakaran, Sathishkumar’s father, in which Sezhian was involved.
