Police in Chennai arrested three suspects after a blood‑splattered auto guided investigators to the location where a man was killed.
Earlier this week, Chennai police discovered an auto rickshaw covered in blood on a city street. The vehicle, found near a residential area, prompted officers to treat the incident as a homicide case.
Forensic analysis of the blood traces and the auto's GPS data enabled investigators to pinpoint the exact spot where the victim's body had been concealed. The discovery led to a swift search operation that uncovered the remains of a male individual, identified as a friend of the accused.
Following the breakthrough, police apprehended three men suspected of involvement in the killing. The suspects were taken into custody at separate locations and are being questioned about the motive and circumstances surrounding the murder. Chennai police have stated that the investigation remains ongoing and that further details will be released as the case progresses.
