AAA The Periyanaickenpalayam police on Saturday arrested vice-president of Vellamadai gram panchayat and his brother in connection with the murder of a man who worked at the chicken stall run by the former.
The police said that R. Ganesan (42), vice-president of Vellamadai panchayat and a resident of Andal Nagar at Samanaickenpalayam, and his brother R. Muruganandam (33) from Vaiyampalayam, an advocate practising in Coimbatore, were arrested late on Saturday.
According to the police, P. Sureshkumar (25) of Netaji Nagar near Samanaikenpalayam worked at the chicken stall run by Ganesan, who belongs to DMK.
“Sureshkumar often gave information to Ganesan’s wife Thulasimani (38) about Ganesan’s activities. This led to quarrels between the husband and wife and Thulasimani left for her paternal house recently”, said the police.
