CHENNAI: The NIA on Saturday arrested two absconding accused in the 2019 Ramalingam murder case linked with the banned PFI, the NIA said on Saturday.
The arrested accused have been identified as Abdul Majeeth and Shahul Hameed, both hailing from Thanjavur. NIA investigations revealed the two to be involved in the murder, the agency said. The duo had allegedly conspired with other accused near the Periyapalli mosque in Thirubhuvanam on February 5, 2019, to chop the hands of Ramalingam to create fear among people and spread communal hatred.
