The incident happened when Kanakaraj, an ex-councillor of the municipality who is also into real estate deals, was returning on a two-wheeler with his friend Kannadasan after a game of badminton at a ground in Chengam road and then two men on a bike hit the vehicle on which the victim was pillion riding.
Both of them fell down while the two on the other bike started attacking Kanakaraj with sickles. Another man standing near a parked car, with its bonnet open, joined the attackers.

Later, ‘Punk’ Babu and his associates Raja and Saravanan surrendered with the Thiruvannamalai town police station.
After conducting the enquiries with the suspects, the Police said that Babu had given Rs 2 crore to Kanakaraj to buy a property in Gandhi Nagar. Kanakaraj reportedly failed to get the property registered in Babu’s name and also did not return the money. This seems to have triggered the murder.
