Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa today directed police to arrest the culprits involved in the murder of a 24-year-old IT woman employee here at the earliest and announced a compensation of Rs three lakh to the family of the victim.
"I have directed the police (CB-CID) to arrest the culprits at the earliest and take legal action against them," she said in a statement.
