    CHENNAI: A drunken attempt to threaten his rivals by brandishing a knife turned fatal for a 28-year-old man, after they snatched the knife from him and stabbed him repeatedly, in Ennore, on Saturday night.

    The man died on the spot, said Avadi city police, adding that they arrested the accused within two hours of the murder.

    The deceased was identified as Bala alias Yuvaraj of Anna Sivakami Nagar, while the accused were Sanjay, Surya, Eswarapandi and Vijayakumar, whom he used to harass and demand money to buy liquor.

    After coming out on bail, Bala moved to Andhra Pradesh to work there. When he was away, the quartet, who had a grudge against him, started harassing his family members. In August, they were arrested based on a complaint from Bala’s family.

    On Saturday, Bala had come to Ennore to meet his friends. Around 11 pm, while riding a motorbike with his friend Thiyagarajan, Bala spotted the four of them gathered outside Sanjay’s home on Annai Sivakami Nagar 5th Street.

    An inebriated Bala took the knife he was carrying and approached the group. He questioned them for harassing his family when he was away, and taunted them. The four of them suddenly snatched the knife out of his hand and attacked him repeatedly with it. They also attacked Thiyagarajan before fleeing the spot, police said.

    Based on an alert, a team from the Ennore police station rushed to the scene, and took Bala and Thiyagarajan to a hospital where Bala was declared as brought dead. Police arrested Sanjay, Surya, Eswarapandi and Vijayakumar from a hideout.

    They were produced before a magistrate and remanded in judicial custody.
