Friday,
December 31, 2004 (Madurai):
In Tamil Nadu former DMK leader and Law Minister Alladi
Aruna was killed while he was going for a morning walk in
Tirunelveli by three unidentified assailants. 
Four years ago, he was the minister in charge of law and
justice in Tamil Nadu. Today, Alladi Aruna became a victim of
lawlessness in his own former constituency Alankulam in
Tirunelveli.
Brutal assault
The former DMK leader was hacked to death along with his
friend by three unidentified assailants while he was going
for his morning walk.
The police deny reports that there was a shoot out and say
the post mortem only reveals cut injuries. An eyewitness has
provided them some clues about the identity of the killers.
"The motive is not clear, but we will soon catch the three
assailants," said Anand Kumar Somani, SP, Tirunelveli.
Questions remain
Not long ago, another former DMK minister Kirutinan was
killed in an identical fashion in Madurai in what turned out
to be a case of intra-party rivalry.
But it's not clear whether Alladi Aruna's murder has anything
to do with political rivalry or a property dispute.
Earlier this year, Aruna had differences with his party high
command over the denial of a seat in the Lok Sabha polls and
was seen to be drifting towards the NDA.
Aruna is survived by his wife and six children in Chennai who
will receive his body on New Year's Day.
