CHENNAI A 27-year-old man died after four men allegedly attacked him with knives near the U-turn on Ramakrishna Mutt Road in Abhiramapuram on Tuesday evening. Police arrested all four accused within a few hours of the incident. The deceased, Sivakumar, son of Ayyappan, was a resident of KVB Garden in Raja Annamalaipuram.

He was sitting inside his autorickshaw near the U-turn when the four men arrived on a motorcycle and allegedly attacked him with knives before fleeing. Sivakumar was initially admitted to the Government Royapettah Hospital. Based on a complaint lodged by his mother, the Abhiramapuram police registered a case, including charges of attempt to murder, and arrested the accused, identified as Loganathan, Veera, Ajith, and Ramu.

Police investigations revealed that Sivakumar and Loganathan had been involved in a clash about three years ago and had been harbouring a grudge since then. Loganathan allegedly enlisted the help of his friends to attack Sivakumar.
