This is the second encounter that has been carried out in Chennai in a week and the third since the murder of the accused in BSP leader Armstrong's murder.

Chennai police gunned down gangster and repeat offender Raja alias ‘Seizing’ Raja during the early hours of Monday in the outskirts of Tamil Nadu capital. He was arrested by the Chennai police on Sunday in connection with BSP leader Armstrong’s murder.

In a dramatic turn of events, a prime suspect in the murder of former Tamil Nadu BSP chief, K Armstrong, was shot dead by the Chennai police early this morning. The suspect, known as ‘Seizing’ Raja, had been apprehended in Andhra Pradesh just a day prior to the incident. His death marks the third police encounter in Chennai since July.

In a tragic incident, three people including a Class 7 student were electrocuted to death when they inadvertently stepped onto an illegal electric fence erected to prevent wild boars from entering into the farmlands.
