CHENNAI:
Police on Monday arrested a 34-year old career criminal for shooting
dead a lawyer from Adyar on ECR near Marakkanam late on Sunday.
Police said S Kamesh, 33, and his client Eshwaran alias Essa, already
facing three charges of murder, had gone to Puducherry for a drink on
Sunday afternoon. They were returning to the city around 10pm when
Eshwaran picked up an argument with Kamesh, a Madras high court
advocate, demanding to know why he was delaying cases in which he was
accused.
Investigators led by Mamallapuram police inspector A
Govindraj said Kamesh appears to have lost control of his car during the
argument, causing the vehicle to hit a median, before Eshwaran whipped
out an unlicensed pistol and shot him.
“They were both drunk at
the time,” the inspector said. “Eshwaran fired one round at the lawyer.
The bullet lodged in the left side of the torso near the abdomen,
causing profuse bleeding.”
A seriously injured Kamesh, who had
earlier secured bail for Eshwaran in three cases of murder, managed to
pull out his cellphone and call his friend Selvam for help. Selvam
rushed to the spot with two other friends, Karthik and Naren. They
rushed Kamesh Malar Hospital in Adyar where doctors declared him dead on
arrival.
Inspector Govindraj said a special police team
tracked down Eshwaran to a friend’s house in Tondiarpet and detained
him. “Police officers are interrogating him,” he said. “Eshwaran is
accused in murder cases in Tondiarpet and Thiruvottiyur.”
Investigators who seized Kamesh’s car as part of the investigation said
the accident left the vehicle with scrape marks. Sources said police
officers on Monday took Eshwaran to Marakkanam to reconstruct the crime.
“Eshwaran told police he shot Kamesh near Marakkanam and drove
the car with the injured lawyer to a location near Marakkanam before he
absconded,” a source said.
Investigators are probing the
possibility that money was the motive for the murder. They are also
trying to determine how Eshwaran acquired the pistol.
A senior
police officer said the force is concerned about criminals in the city
increasingly using arms, mostly procured from Uttar Pradesh and
Jharkhand.
Several advocates who practised with Kamesh visited
the hospital and the lawyer’s residence on Ellaiamman Koil Street in
Adyar on Monday to meet his family and offer them their condolences.
