CHENNAI, FEB. 9. Manikyaraj Ballal, 72, Managing Director of Palmgrove Hotel at Nungambakkam, died here on Wednesday after he was allegedly attacked by a hotel employee on Tuesday. The Teynampet police have registered a case of murder. Ballal hailed from Sabarabailu in Belthangady taluk near Mangalore. He was the owner of Hotel Palmgrove in Bangalore and another hotel at Egmore in Central Chennai. The Ballal family also runs Ballal Motor Service in Karnataka. Ballal is survived by his wife and two children. According to the police, at 6.30 a.m. on Tuesday, Ballal came to the hotel and was inspecting the kitchen where the labour leader Mayandi allegedly attacked him with a knife. Ballal sustained injuries in the shoulder and the right thumb. He was rushed to a private hospital on Greams Road. During the day, plastic surgery was performed on his shoulder and he was recovering. However, the end came at 3.15 a.m. on Wednesday, the police said. They said that at a recent meeting with the office-bearers of the hotel employees' union, the owner agreed to revise the salary of the employees. The labour leader demanded that the services of some employees, who are working on a temporary basis, be regularised. However, Ballal refused to agree to it. Disappointed by this, Mayandi allegedly attacked Ballal. A team of forensic officers at the Government General Hospital here conducted an autopsy after which the body was handed over to the kin of Ballal, the police said. The police are on the lookout for Mayandi. A spokesman for the hotel management said during the recent meeting with the union, it was agreed that the number of staff should be maintained at 180. This decision was ratified at the general body meeting of the union in which management representatives participated. However, there was a dispute between the two sides over the demand for regularising the services of some temporary staff, he added. The cremation will take place at Ballal's ancestral house at Sabarabailu on Thursday.
