    Ponnai Balu is the younger brother of rowdy Arcot Suresh, who was murdered by a gang in broad daylight last year.

    Chennai Police have so far maintained that Armstrong's murder was a ‘revenge killing’ in retaliation for the murder of Arcot Suresh.

    K Armstrong, the state leader of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), was hacked to death with deadly weapons by a gang, near his under construction house site at Perambur on July 5.

    The police swiftly acted and arrested eight people within three hours of the cold-blooded murder.

    The brutal murder of the national party leader at a public place sent shock waves among political parties and triggered allegations of lapses in the law and order of the State.
