Police probing ‘ticket’ angle in murder of ex-Tirunelveli Mayor

While no concrete leads have been obtained yet in Tuesday’s murder of former Tirunelveli Mayor Uma Maheshwari, her husband and maid, the city police are probing if the crime was the fallout of a dispute over a reneged promise to get a DMK functionary a ticket to contest in the general election.
Initially, police believed the triple murder could have been committed for monetary gain. Now, they have begun probing other angles too, with the ‘party ticket’ and property dispute being among them.
The investigation has apparently thrown up a financial transaction between Maheshwari’s slain husband Murugasankaran and a person from Sankarankoil.
