Kanchi case: 6 detained under Goondas Act

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI, JAN. 16. Six persons, arrested in connection with the Sankararaman murder case, have been detained under the Goondas Act.

The Kancheepuram Collector, R. Venkatesan, signed the pre-detention papers for Kathiravan, Anilkumar, Rajni alias Chinna, Mattu Bhaskar, Ambikapathy and Meenakshisundaram. All the six, who are being held in the Central Prison in Chennai, were informed of their detention under the Act.

Those detained under the Goondas Act are not eligible for bail until a review committee, headed by a former judge of the High Court, clears the papers.
