Chennai: The day after death for the death of a robber who had fired a gun in the air to scare the people at the Sriperumbudur toll gate before taking the chain, Kancheepuram police on Tuesday launched a gang search that held another pistol that was prey in the district.
The two members’ gangs, they believed, were behind the shooting of October 4 at the Tasmac Oragadam outlet that made one staff member die and others injured.
RAM, Tasmac staff members were injured, on Sunday underwent surgery at the Rajiv Gandhi Chennai General Hospital (RGGGH) to have bullets released from his chest.
Thusdas’s colleague had died in the attack.

On October 4, Thulasdas and RAM closed the Tasmac outlet when two men arrived and attacked them.
While ThulationDas died in place, RAM, who had a store key, managed to escape by scaling the wall even though it was shot.
