CHENNAI: An unidentified gang of six allegedly hacked two people with knives at Nanmangalam near Pallikaranai and threw petrol bombs at the house of history-sheeter ‘Vellai’ Anand early Sunday morning. Police said the gang had come in search of Anand to finish him off.
The two injured were identified as Kirubakaran, 19, a polytechnic college student and Manoj Kumar, 21 a private company employee. Both of them refused to divulge details of the history sheeter's house when they were attacked.
