BSP leader K Armstrong was murdered by a gang on July 5 at Venugopal Swami Koil street in Perambur. The city police arrested eight persons, including Arcot Suresh’s younger brother within three hours of the murder and initially claimed that Armstrong was murdered in retaliation for Suresh's murder in August last year. Three more persons were arrested subsequently. One of the accused arrested initially, D Selvaraj, was also a BJP functionary.
On Sunday, K Thiruvengadam (33), one of the suspects was shot dead in a "police encounter" near Madhavaram, when he allegedly opened fire at the police team which rounded him up after he fled while being taken to secure weapons used in Armstrong's murder.
