Four men were arrested in Chennai near New Manali town after they beat a man to death and took selfies with his corpse to prove to their friends that they had committed the murder. They killed Ravichandran, a 32-year-old auto rickshaw driver, over previous enmity.
The murder took place on Wednesday night and the four were arrested on Thursday morning based on the photograph they had posted on a Whatsapp group.
Madhan Kumar (31), Dhanush (19), Jayaprakash (18) and Bharat (19), were arrested by the Chennai Police for murdering 32-year-old Ravichandran.
According to police, the deceased had a quarrel with Madhan, one of the accused, a few days ago.
Madhan had invited Ravichandran to a liquor party at a playground in New Manali town on Wednesday, claiming he wanted to sort out the differences between them, reported The Times of India.
When Ravichandran’s wife Keerthana tried to contact him, his phone was switched off. She and some relatives went in search of him and they reached the MRF playground in Vetri Nagar.
Upon reaching the playground, they found Ravichandran lying dead in the corner and the gang of 4 clicking pictures of themselves near the body.
