Speeding bus mows down pedestrian at MG Road more, driver flee
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) Supremo Mayawati on Sunday paid floral tribute to the slain party's Tamil Nadu Chief, K Armstrong, at Corporation School Ground in Chennai and urged the state government to refer the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
BSP National Coordinator Akash Anand also paid tribute to K Armstrong, who was hacked to death by a group of unidentified men near his residence in Perambur in Chennai. Terming the incident 'saddening', Mayawati said that the way he was assassinated near his residence is very 'devastating'.
The BSP Supremo further appealed to the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government to entrust the CBI with the matter. Meanwhile, Asra Garg, Additional Commissioner of Police (Law and Order), North Chennai, said that eight suspects have been held so far in connection with the case.
Highlighting the suspected motive behind the killing, ACP Garg mentioned that the associates of gangster Arcot Suresh, who was assassinated last year, believed it was 'conspired' by Armstrong.
