A police official of Mylapore station said the special team arrested the four absconding accused, including Manikandan, Silambarasan, Ajith and Vijay on Monday.
The gang had murdered Saravanan to avenge the killing of Dori Mani last year.
A police team, which was engaged in security arrangements for President Ram Nath Kovind’s visit to the city on Monday, had earlier apprehended two members named Shyam and Manikandan within a few minutes of the murder, even as the remaining four members escaped from the scene.
