Four men have been arrested in connection with the murder of a 30-year-old police informant who was killed earlier this week.
According to police, Gunaseelan, Jayaseelan, Karthik and Wilson were arrested from their hideout in Shenoy Nagar on Thursday.
The men allegedly murdered Raju alias Deepak, a resident of Vanagaram on April 4. Deepak, who had some cases pending against him, had turned a police informant and was trying to lead a life away from crime and had since reformed.
The gang murdered him while he was asleep on the terrace above a public toilet in Aminjikarai.
