Ramanathapuram: Former DMK MLA of Tamil Nadu Assembly Kader Basha was hacked to death at his residence in Ramanathapuram today, police said.
Basha, 67, was having breakfast when Dhanaseelan entered his house and hacked him to death with a sickle, police said.
Previous enmity is suspected to be the reason for the murder, police said.
Police said Dhanaseelan, a dalit leader from Melaramanadhi, entered Basha's house through the backyard. As it was common for the local people to come to his house, workers present in the house too did not stop him.
After entering the dining hall, Dhanaseelan pulled out a sickle and hacked Basha to death.
Basha's aide, in an effort to save the former MLA, retaliated and killed Dhanaseelan, police said. He then fled the spot, the police said.
A search was on to nab him, they added.
