TIRUCHI: A gang involved in the murder of a cable operator of Kattur, P. Jaishankar (32), was arrested on Thursday by the police.

S. Loganathan (21) and Christopher (21) of Subramaniapuram, A. Nelson Prabu (21) of Kattur Fathima Nagar, A. Pandian (19) of Kattur Anna Nagar and Raja (19) of Sembattu were picked up from the Uyyakondan canal near Ariyamangalam. Three more - Nagarajan, Satheesh and Vinod, — of the same gang surrendered before a court at Keeranur in Pudukottai district.

Police suspect that the murder was a sequel to the recent hacking of Sivakumar of Kattur by a gang, which was stated to have been funded by the victim. The murder gang was reportedly led by `Pattarai' Suresh of Ponmalai, who is absconding.
