An armed gang attacked a 53-year-old DMK functionary and a rowdy-sheeter from Madurai at a hotel in Kammanahalli where he had come to have tea with a local real estate agent to discuss a house for rent.
The victim, V.K. Gurusamy, who has multiple criminal cases pending against him, is associated with the DMK party. He had come to the city to look for a house on rent.
According to the police, the gang followed him in a car and attacked him before fleeing the spot. Panic gripped the other customers who ran helter-skelter. Gurusamy sustained multiple injuries and fell on the ground. A few people rushed to his help and called an ambulance before alerting the police.
