But this is the first time he is being arrested for a voice clip he posted in the social media message platform. 

"I don't need striking force like you with officers like SP or DIG. I am one man army. All I need is a gas tanker. I don't mind getting killed but I will make sure at least 500 people are killed" he was heated threatening in the WhatsApp group. Based on this message police on Saturday arrested him. 

Police on Thursday had arrested 4 people in connection with the murder of Kannan of Pandarakulam on Monday. Koli Arul was referring to the killing of Kannan and his message talked about taking revenge for it if the real culprits were not arrested.
