The accused were identified as Anish of Manikanteswaram, Sudheesh of Vettikonam, Rajeev of Nettayam and Kumar of Vettikonam. They are suspected to be part of a gang of 10 who purportedly hacked some people before vandalising parked autorickshaws and burgling some shops in the locality around 10 p.m. on July 7. The gang had come in a car and on two motorcycles. Efforts are under way to nab the other accused, the police said.
