The police have arrested a man and his sister, and have launched a hunt for another sibling and also their mother. The arrested persons were identified as Karthik (24) alias ‘Ottai’ Karthik of Sathyamurthy Nagar in Nandanam and his sister Devi (32). Last year, the victim, Karunakaran (21) of Ashtalakshmi Nagar in Velachery had attacked Karthik due to previous enmity. To take revenge on Karunakaran, Karthik and his family members waited for him and dragged him into their autorickshaw in Teynampet. They assaulted Karunakaran as the vehicle was heading to Tiruvanmiyur. On the way, they also tied his legs and hands and gagged him.
