Another Politician Hacked To Death In Tamil Nadu, Cops Say Revenge Killing

This comes just a week after Bahujan Samaj Party's (BSP) Tamil Nadu chief K Armstrong was hacked to death by six men on bikes

A functionary of Naam Thamizhar Katchi party (NTK) was hacked to death in Tamil Nadu's Madurai this morning. Balasubramanian, police said, was on a morning walk when he was targeted. Police denied it's a political murder and said it was a revenge attack.

"Initial investigation suggests that it's a murder out of vengeance due to a family dispute. Investigation is underway. There is no CCTV in the vicinity," a police officer told NDTV.

Allegations that Balasubramanian was a history-sheeter involved in three murder cases have also surfaced.
