The City crime branch sleuths investigating the murder of RSS worker R Rudresh - who was killed on Kamaraj Road on Sunday - have dispatched the CCTV footage they have obtained from the buildings close to the crime scene to Tamil Nadu and Kerala. City police have requested the cops in the two states to help them identify the two bike-borne assailants.
On Sunday, Rudresh was hacked to death when he was talking to his friends on the busy Kamaraj Road, near Commercial Street. The pillion rider, who was wearing a monkey cap, had sliced Rudresh's neck in a single sweep before the bike sped away. The nature of the injury has given police reason to suspect that it could have been a supari killing.
Pointing out that both states had witnessed similar cases, wherein RSS activists had been killed, senior police officials said, "The modes followed in all these killings are the same. Men come on a motor bike, wait for an opportunity so that they can target his neck, they are very similar. We have contacted senior officials in these states and sought their cooperation in solving the case. We are also hoping that cops in these two states identify the killers."
Meanwhile, cops said that they had questioned more than 50 men in connection with Rudresh's murder. "We have prepared a list containing names of all individuals, with whom he had an issue including many rowdy sheeters," they said.
