A shocking incident involving a Range Rover ramming into a two-wheeler in Chennai has sparked contention. One of the three suspects arrested is the grandson of a DMK councillor. The crash resulted in the death of the pillion rider, Nithin Sai, a college student.
According to NDTV, the incident was initially probed as an accident, but it was discovered that the young men had deliberately rammed the two-wheeler.
The report cited that the incident happened after a clash erupted between two groups of students over a relationship involving two young men and a female student. The politician’s grandson, Chandru, who was a student himself, was allegedly asked to mediate the dispute, police said.
In an apparent act of intimidation, the group in the Range Rover tried to confront the other group, who fled on two bikes. The intended target, Venkatesan, and his friend managed to elude the SUV. However, the Range Rover struck the second bike, carrying Nithin Sai and his friend Abhishek. Nithin, who was riding pillion, succumbed to severe head injuries on the spot, while Abhishek sustained injuries.
Three students have been arrested on charges of murder, along with other sections being invoked. Police launched a search to nab the fourth accused, who is still at large.
