A key suspect in the murder of former Tamil Nadu BSP chief K Armstrong in July was shot dead by the Chennai police early this morning, marking the third police encounter in the capital city of Tamil Nadu since July.
The suspect, 'Seizing' Raja, had been arrested in Andhra Pradesh just a day before the incident. The police encounter took place near Neelangarai on the East Coast Road. A Chennai police official told NDTV, "We are investigating the circumstances surrounding Raja's death and will soon issue a statement."
