18-year-old youth murdered by gang in Chennai’s Vyasarpadi

CHENNAI An 18-year-old youth, Dhanush of S.M. Nagar in Vyasarpadi, was allegedly hacked to death by the father of a youth named Surya and his associates, who were reportedly involved in a previous enmity with the victim’s family. Police sources said the victim Dhanush’s elder brother, Silambarasan, had running feuds with Surya.

A few months ago, Surya and his friends had allegedly gone to Silambarasan’s house to attack him. However, they reportedly returned without attacking him after learning that Silambarasan had suffered a fracture in an accident. On Deepavali night (November 8, 2026) around 11.30 p.m., Silambarasan was talking with his younger brother Dhanush and their friends at Block 58 in S.M.
