Sensational information has been released about why Tamil Nadu Bahujan Samaj Party leader Armstrong was killed at his home. It was revealed that the gang knew when he would come out of the house and how many people would be with him.
Armstrong (52) hails from Venugopalaswamy Temple Street, Perambur, Chennai. He is a lawyer. He was also the state president of the Bahujan Samaj Party. He has been in charge of the party for about 20 years. He gave interviews to television channels on various election debates. He was currently living with his family in an apartment in Ayanavaram. In this situation, he had gone to Armstrong last night to inspect the work of a newly constructed house on Venugopalaswamy Temple Street in Perambur.
Veeramani (65) and Balaji from Perampur also went with him. Then 6 people came to that area in 3 bikes. Then they suddenly surrounded Armstrong and cut him down. Armstrong, who did not expect this attack, could not escape and fell prey to their murderous frenzy. Veeramani and Balaji stopped those 6 people. But the gang cut them down as well.
Armstrong collapsed with serious injuries and was fighting for his life. He was taken to Apollo Hospital where doctors pronounced Armstrong brought dead. Sembiyam police have registered a case and are investigating.
In this situation, 8 people have surrendered at Anna Nagar police station in Chennai. In the interrogation conducted with them, Bagheer gave the information.
Armstrong carries a licensed firearm with him at all times because of threats to his life. He has owned a gun for the past 10 years. Armstrong would go out with a gun whenever he went out for events such as a party function, party executive’s home special, etc. Like that, he used to have supporters go to Pudai.
But the gang carried out this murder knowing full well that he would not have a gun when going to the house or the places around the house. Venugopalasamy is building a new house on Temple Street in Perampur. He doesn’t carry a gun when he goes there because it’s on the same street where he lives.
Every day he goes to that house and stays there for an hour to two hours. Then he would walk or ride a bike with someone and get down at the door. All this was done by the gang who killed Armstrong on notice. And knowing that Armstrong had gone to his new home, he had no gun and no supporters, the mob took advantage of this opportunity. All the 8 arrested persons have given this information as a statement in the police investigation.
