Tamil Nadu Dalit Man Killed

A 45-year-old man allegedly killed his son and mother in Arunapathi village near Uthangarai on Saturday, said police.

The Supreme Court has agreed to examine the acquittal of a man who is charged with murdering his son-in-law, a Dalit man. The top court issued a notice to Chinnasamy, after his daughter and the Tamil Nadu government challenged the Madras High Court's decision in the 2016 case of Udumalpet daylight killing case.

Widowed a year ago on the orders of her father, S Kausalya today welcomed the verdict of a Tamil Nadu court that sentenced him to death. V Sankar, the 23-year-old engineering student Kausalya married against the wishes of her family in July 2015, was killed barely eight months later by men hired by her father.

Six people have been given death penalty for the daylight murder of V Sankar -- the 23-year-old Dalit engineering student who married an upper caste woman -- which took place in March last year. The gruesome murder, captured on local CCTV cameras, had shocked the nation.

A young engineering student is dragged to a pavement and hacked to death by three men who then turn on his wife on a busy road, in chilling camera footage of an attack in Tamil Nadus Tirupur on Sunday. People on the road watch, transfixed.

Yuvaraj, the prime accused in the suspicious death of a Dalit man Gokulraj has been remanded to a five-day police custody by a court in the Namakkal district of Tami Nadu.

The Madurai Police in Tamil Nadu has arrested the parents of a young woman who had eloped with a Dalit man for suspected dishonor killing. The parents claim their daughter committed suicide and had cremated her body without informing the police.

On July 4, the body of a young Dalit boy, Ilavarasan, was found on the tracks in Dharmapuri, northern Tamil Nadu. Initially reported as a suicide, his family and Dalit groups suspected murder by upper caste groups.

Ilavarasan's death could well be a suicide, say the police, who claim to have accessed his mobile phone recording of a conversation between the Dalit man and his wife a few days before his death in which he talks of killing himself if she did not return to him.
