CHENNAI: A team of the Kerala police is in Chennai in search of 'Aadu' Antony, a 49-year-old burglar who is accused of murdering a senior police officer in Kollam district on June 26.
On July 3, police raided the apartment in Madhavaram, Chennai where Antony was said to be staying and seized 30 lakh worth of electronic goods and home appliances. A three-member team led by inspector Jawahar Janard of the Kerala police is now hunting for Antony who is said to have been involved in more than 100 cases of burglary in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

Last month, police said, Antony stabbed Maniyan Pillai and assaulted head constable K Joy when they stopped his Maruti Omni during a routine check. "We chased him. But he abandoned the car and fled. Later, we came to know that Antony used a fake number plate. We traced the address of the vehicle owner Siva Subramanian of Chennai from whom Antony had bought the car," Janard told TOI. Police said a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the case went to the rented house in Chandra Prabhu Colony in Madhavaram where Antony was said to be and found stolen computers and other electronic goods 30 lakh.
Janard said Antony had stayed in the house in Madhavaram for more than seven months, according to neighbours.
Police have also found that a woman named Susi alias Susan was with him when he went missing from his house at Pongumoodu in Thiruvananthapuram early on June 26 and that she could still be with him.
According to sources, Susi is the mother of Sri Latha, one of Antony's two live-in partners who were taken into custody by the SIT from Pongumoodu a few days ago. Sri Latha (25), is a native of Perumbavoor, while Girija (35), the other woman who was taken into custody, is from Kavanad in Kollam town. Antony also had a relationship with Susi, police said.
"Antony keeps moving from place to place in and around the southern districts of Tamil Nadu. The SIT had confirmed that he had fled Kerala. Check-posts in border districts are under close observation and documents are being verified to see if he is transporting stolen goods to neighboring states," inspector Janard told TOI.
