It is said, there were a prolonged enmity and gang rivalry between gang of Kannayan of Athur near Mayiladuthurai and the gang of Manalmedu Sankar for a few years and both the gangs executed a series of murders. Meanwhile, a few years back, Kannayan and his son in law Adhikesavan were murdered by Manohar (43) of Athur, a close aide of the noted rowdy Manalmedu Sankar. Manohar and his brother Balaiah were involved in the murder then and Manohar went for hiding since then.

In the meantime, in a tit for tat murder, Balaiah, brother of Manohar was murdered by Adhi Kesvan’s son Suman a few years back and Suman was arrested and has been lodged in the central prison. While Suman was in the prison, Mahonar was making plans to murder Suman but at the same time, Suman had been charting out plans to murder Manohar with a gang he met in the prison.
