Four men, including a medical practitioner, arrested and jailed in January for the murder of neurosurgeon S.D. Subbiah have been booked under the Goondas Act.
According to police sources, key suspect James Sathish Kumar (37), a physician of ESIC hospital, Tirunelveli, and three others, Selvaprakash, Murugan and Iyappan, were arrested by a special team following months of manhunt.
Following orders from the Commissioner of Police, the four men were booked under the Goondas Act a few days ago.
