A day after K Armstrong, the President of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in Tamil Nadu, was savagely hacked to death, chaos broke out in Chennai. On Saturday, party members gathered outside the Rajiv Gandhi Government Hospital mortuary, where Armstrong`s body is being prepared for autopsy.

The atmosphere outside the mortuary was tense as BSP leaders and supporters protested, seeking to break through barricades to access the hospital grounds, while police attempted to manage the situation. Protesters also held a `road roko` protest over the BSP leader`s killing.
