CHENNAI: Four men chased and hacked to death a 36-year-old financier on a busy road in Aminjikarai on Wednesday afternoon. A video of the murder, shot by some motorists, soon went viral on social media before police launched a hunt for the killers.

Around 1.30 pm, police said, Arumugham, a resident of Vaidhyanathan Street in Chetpet who runs a finance company in
Anna Nagar, was riding pillion on a bike with his employee Ramesh when four men on two two-wheelers intercepted them near Pulla Avenue. As the assailants set upon Arumugham with machetes even as vehicles were passing by, Ramesh managed to ride away. Arumugham began to run on the main road, believing that someone would come to his help, but the gang members parked their vehicles and gave chase. After catching up with the fleeing man at a road median, they began attacking him with the weapons, unconcerned that the deadly assault was being filmed by passing motorists and others. One of the ‘movies’, shot from a moving car, which showed Arumugham, bleeding profusely from the hands and head, moved netizens after it was posted on social media platforms.
