PONDICHERRY, FEB. 3. The police have arrested a six-member gang in connection with the alleged murder of a painter, A. Suresh, yesterday.

The Senior Superintendent of Police (Law and Order), Sunil Garg, told newsmen here today that the painter was coming on a moped from his house at Muthialpet when he was intercepted by the gang at the Karuvadikuppam-Muthialpet junction. He was fatally attacked with a knife and an iron pipe. The police first arrested Ganesan of Ganapathy nagar in the Muthialpet block. Subsequently Karthi, Mani, Ezhumalai, Karthik and Ramesh were held today.
