CHENNAI: For the first time in recent years, shots were fired during a clash between two gangs in the city. Police said a country-made gun was used in the attack. In the clash between two historysheeters at Ennore , one suffered injury. The injured was identified as D Senthil alias 'Sudusoru' Senthil of Ennore. He has been admitted at Stanley Hospital. Police have arrested J Alexander and another rowdy P T Ramesh. They were remanded in Puzhal prison.

The shoot-out incident happened almost 10 days ago, but came to light only after Senthil got himself admitted at the Stanley Government Hospital. A bullet hit his stomach, doctors said.

The doctors operated and removed the bullet and alerted the Ennore police. Senthil said told police he was shot with a pistol on June 8 by two men during a clash.

Police said Senthil named the attackers as Ramesh, 33, and J Alexander, 32, both residents of Ennore. During an argument, Ramesh opened fire on Senthil.

Since Ramesh threatened Senthil not to go to police, the latter stayed at home.
