The reaction of potassium permanganate and hydrochloric acid is as follow:
MnO4 is an oxidzing agent:
it turns from Mn7+ to Mn2+ in acidified solution which means a gain of 5 electons.
Cl- a reducing agent which will cause Cl2 to gain 2 electrons.
Redox reaction:2MnO4-(aq)+16H+(aq) +10Cl-(aq)-------->2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)+5Cl2(aq)

Manganate(VII) ions in acidic solution oxidise chloride ions to chlorine gas. This is one of the standard laboratory preparations of chlorine gas:
2(MnO4)- + 10Cl- + 16H+ ----> 2Mn2+ + 5Cl2 + 8H2O
