The Kanchipuram police on Wednesday arrested a sand lorry agent in connection with the death of three persons on two motorbikes in a hit-and-run case on GST road in Chengalpet on Tuesday night.
Kuttikrishnan was driving his Mahindra Bolero from Tambaram to Mamandur when he allegedly knocked down N. Rajendran, 45, working for publication, Dinasuryan, and his friends T. Manivannan, 40, and Stalin.
“Rajendran and Manivannan were on one bike while Stalin was on another vehicle,” said the police.
“After knocking them down, Kuttikrishnan sped away without stopping and then hid the vehicle under a heap of hay,” police said.
Sleuths found the broken windshield of the vehicle at the accident site.
