CHENNAI: A year after a hotel owner denied free biryani to a gang, got a case booked against its members and police detained an accused under the Goondas Act, a three-member gang chased and hacked him, at Thirumazhisai in Tiruvallur on Sunday night.
The victim, Maharajan, and Arunachalapandian run a hotel at Thirumazhisai. On April 18, last year, a gang of four men asked Arunachalapandian to give them free biriyani for their 'big brother' Ebinezer alias Ebi. Ebi is involved in a few criminal cases. Arunachalapandian and Maharajan, told them that biriyani was not available as several orders were pending.
