Commercial Street wore a deserted look on Monday, a day after Rudresh R., an RSS leader, was murdered in the near-by Kamaraj Road. Rudresh R. (35) was killed on Sunday when he had stopped on Kamaraj Road to talk some acquaintances while on his way home from an RSS route march. The busy shopping streets of Kamaraj Road, Commercial Street and even Russell Market remained shut. There were tense moments as the procession made its way from Kamaraj Road and the police commissioner’s office on Bhagwan Mahaveer Road (Infantry Road). Meghrikh, they set Monday midnight as the deadline to arrest the culprits.
