Udhagamandalam: A 40-year-old security guard posted at a bungalow, frequently visited by late chief minister J Jayalalithaa in Kodanad near here, was found murdered, police said today. Another security personnel, who was on duty at the bungalow, was also injured in the attack by an unidentified gang, which allegedly broke into the bungalow to steal valuables and some documents, they said.
