CHENNAI: Allegedly harassed by three drunk men who demanded money, a truck driver from Uttar Pradesh mowed them down at a private truck parking yard in Red Hills, killing two and critically injuring another on Wednesday night.
Police investigations revealed that the deceased Kumaran, 36, and Kamala Kannan, 35, both from Red Hills, and the injured man, Naveen, 26, were consuming liquor at the truck yard at Vadaperumbakkam in Red Hills.
Around 7. 30pm, truck drivers Kanhaiya Singh, 35, and Krish Kumar, 26, were preparing dinner at the yard when the trio began harassing them.
They grabbed rotis from the drivers and demanded that Kanhaiya Singh part with the cash he had. When Kanhaiya refused, they created a ruckus and damaged the headlights of the truck, leading to an argument. In the ensuing duel, the truck drivers were beaten up by the drunk men, police said.
The truckers left the parking yard and returned an hour later to find the trio consuming liquor behind the truck.
“Kumaran told them that they won’t leave if they don’t pay them. After pleading for a while, an angry Kanhaiya boarded the truck and ran over the trio,” said a senior police officer.
Ten trucks damaged by relatives of deceased
While Kumaran died on the spot, Kamala Kannan died at a hospital after suffering a severe head injury. Police said Naveen is critically injured and admitted to Stanley Medical College hospital.
The Red Hills police registered a case under Section 304 (a) IPC. Kanhaiya Singh and Krish Kumar were arrested. Later in the night, friends and family members of the deceased damaged 10 trucks at the yard.
