CHENNAI, December 27, 2025 – Chennai police have arrested three individuals in connection with a violent home invasion and attempted murder that occurred in MKB Nagar on Thursday, December 25, 2025. The incident left a young man and his mother injured.
According to police reports, a group of six men, armed with knives, forced their way into the residence of Surya, 20, in an attempt to attack his elder brother, Manikandan. When Surya’s parents intervened, Surya managed to lock Manikandan in a room. The assailants then allegedly attacked Surya and his mother, Shanthi, who both sustained knife wounds. Surya’s father, Palani, was also reportedly beaten.
Responding to the scene, authorities transported Surya and Shanthi to Government Stanley Hospital for treatment. An investigation led to the arrest of Nandakumar, 21, Samuel, 21, and Ashok, 20, all residents of the Chennai area. Police recovered three knives and a two-wheeler believed to be used in the crime.
Investigators revealed the attack stemmed from a prior altercation in which Manikandan allegedly assaulted Karan, a friend of Nandakumar. Police believe the home invasion was an act of retaliation. It was also discovered that Nandakumar and Ashok each have a prior criminal record.
The three suspects have been remanded to judicial custody. Police are actively pursuing the remaining individuals involved in the attack.
