Chennai Police have arrested Aswathaman, one of the main suspects in the murder case of former Bahujan Samaj Party leader K. Armstrong.
Police officials said Aswathaman was captured in Bengaluru while allegedly trying to flee the country.
According to investigators, his arrest is a major development in the high-profile murder case that has drawn significant public and political attention.
Aswathaman’s father, Nagendran, is also considered one of the primary suspects in the same case, making the investigation particularly significant.
Authorities revealed that Aswathaman had only recently been released on bail a few days before his attempted escape and subsequent arrest.
Police suspect that he may have been trying to avoid further legal action by leaving India.
The murder of K. Armstrong has been a sensitive political case, and law enforcement agencies are continuing their efforts to identify all those involved.
Officials are expected to further question Aswathaman as part of the ongoing investigation to gather more details about the crime and any wider conspiracy.
The arrest is seen as an important step in strengthening the case and ensuring accountability in the murder investigation.
