A 26-year-old worker from Nepal was allegedly murdered by his roommate in Perungudi on Saturday (October 24, 2026).
The police said the victim, H.K. Ganesh, was residing with a group of persons from Nepal at Govindasamy Nagar in Perungudi and was working for a few private companies located nearby.
Early Saturday, the group, including Ganesh, was playing cards. A dispute arose between Ganesh and Gaurav, one of his roommates, during the game. The duo had previously been involved in a dispute, and soon, the argument turned into a physical fight. Gaurav reportedly stabbed Ganesh with a small kitchen knife.
Ganesh became unconscious. The other roommates rushed him to a private hospital.
The hospital authorities alerted the Thoraipakkam police station. The police are on the lookout for the accused, Gaurav, who is absconding.
