The Chennai police have arrested three persons on charges of trespassing into a house in MKB Nagar and attempting to murder a couple and their two sons.
According to the police, Surya, 20, a resident of S.A. Colony in Vyasarpadi who works at a photo shop, was at home on Thursday (December 25, 2025) evening when six persons, armed with knives, barged in and threatened to kill his elder brother Manikandan. As Surya’s parents intervened, Surya locked the room where Manikandan was sleeping from the outside.
