In broad daylight, an eight-member gang hacked to death a manpower agent in his car outside the Ennore Thermal Power Station on Monday morning.

According to the police, James, 38, a resident of Burma Nagar, Ennore, provided contract workers to various factories and the thermal power plant. Every day, he used to visit the places where his men worked.

On Monday morning, he came to the Ennore thermal power plant stage 1 around 10.45 a.m. “There were eight men waiting for him in a car. When they spotted his car, they intercepted it and hacked him to death using sharp weapons,” said a police officer.

They left him in a pool of blood inside the car and sped away in their vehicle. Some workers of the power plant informed the police about the incident. A case was registered by the Minjur police.
