When caste pride slays young love

Armumamisham’s silent hamlet near the coast of the Teamil Nadu in the Throwhukudi region of Tamil Nadu has about 300 families. However, since Sunday, July 27, residents have lost sleep with senior ministers, politicians, senior police officers, and the leaders of the caste clothes that visited the village. The visits watched a cold -blooded murder caused by a love relationship with a child of the planned caste and a love relationship with a intermediate caste girl. It was a crime that deserved the punishment for some.

The victim’s father Chandrasekar, C. Kavin Selvaganesh lives in Arumagamamalam, 25 km from Throwhukudi’s region center to look at agricultural lands. Three -man family – his wife Tamilselvi and his son Kavin and Praveen – Throwhukudi, a teacher in Pacheri near Ananthadan near Throwhukudi. After completing his SSLC at a school in Chidambara Nagar in Throwhukudi, the melon moved to a secondary school on the Meelavittaan Road on the skirts of the town. Here he met his classmate Subhashini, the daughter of two police inspectors.

“He’s been good friends since his Schooldays, and Caste wasn’t very important to them, Pra says Praveen.

Maturation for love

XII. After the classroom, Kavin attended the course at a private engineering college in Nalattinpudur near Kovilpatti in the Throwhukudi region. Meanwhile, Subhashini noticed his dream of being a Siddha doctor by studying at a Siddha Medical College based Coimbatore.

The couple remained in communication on university days. After completing his civil engineering degree with a gold medal, Kavin joined a construction company in Coimbatore. Later, in a Chennai -based multinational company, a salary package to be jealous of a job was provided to information technology by providing a job.

Subhashini, who later moved from Throwhukudi to Neighbor Tirunelveli, started to apply Siddha medicine in a private hospital in KTC Nagar in Palayamkottaii. Until this time, their friendship had turned into love.

When Kavin’s mother came to learn this, he warned him against the maintenance of the relationship because Subhashini came backwards and belonged to the planned caste, and no one would approve by the girl. However, Kavin ignored the warning and continued his relationship.

Police said Subhashini’s younger brother Surjith was a b.com. The graduate and athlete learned the relationship on May 30 and informed his family Saravanan and Krishnakumari. Police, girl, rejected that they had a relationship when her family questioned her.

One of the reasons why he hid his love was to wait for six months because he wanted to go up further in Kavin’s career.

Kavin had shared his mother’s concern with Subhashini and spoke to Tamilselvi on the phone to relieve his fears. Nevertheless, the worst fear of the mother took place on July 27 at around 15.00. That day, Tamilselvi’s father Muthumalai had a injury in his head. Kavin took him to the hospital where Subhashini was working. Tamilselvi and his younger brother accompanied them to the hospital, where Subhashini explained the treatment line to be followed.

Meanwhile, Surjith was waiting for him as the melon went out. Both Surjith’s bike remained in Kavin’s Pillion.

Only when the conversation between Subhashini and Tamilsel ended, they realized that Kavin was not there. Since he did not participate in the calls, attempts to communicate over and over again failed.

Subhashini asked them to have lunch, and when he came back, he made sure he would send Kavin back home. But he never came back.

He was attacked with Pala

Police said Surjith had stopped the bike and hacked with Pala. The victim’s relatives say that Surjith has hacked him after sprinkling pepper dust on the face of Kavin. Four sharp cuts down to his neck and head died in the melon.

Passing and residents warned the Palayamkottai police who immediately captured Surjith. In addition to Surjith, the first information report called the sub -inspectors Saravanan and Krishnakumari as the second and third defendants. Saravanan was arrested on the night of July 30th.

“Krishnakumari has not been arrested yet. We demanded the transfer of this case to the CBI,” says Throwhukudi lawyer Ramachandran, who works with the family of the deceased.

While the theories of Kavin and Subhashini only emerged, a few photographs appeared on social media. The girl has made it clear that she was in love with Kavin to listen to the speculation. In the same breath, he said that his family was innocent and that he was not aware of Surjith’s plan to kill Kavin.

The leaders of caste clothes and caste -based political parties organize protests to support the old family and demand ‘justice for the melon’.

Viduthalai leader and MP, because it is a national issue “caste kills, this barbarian crime should be a law for the murder of the union government, in accordance with the Supreme Court, Caste and other communities on behalf of the Supreme Court, Caste and MP, since there is no brutal law to crush this evil.” Thirumavalavan, who met the family in Arulugamalam on July 31st. He also demanded the constitution of a separate state institution in order to stigmatize the murders of Kast.

K. Shyam, the son of K. Krishnasamy, the leader of the youth wing of Puthiya Thamizhagam, the party founder K. Krishnasamy, batt for a law with more strict provisions to dismantle the caste murders. He invites the state government not to publish the most backward members of a particular community, especially as collectors, police inspectors, police inspectors and income officials.

“Since the planned castes are always at the receiving end of the aggression of this particular community, the government should not publish the authorities of this caste in the past, where several caste conflicts have occurred in the past, socially sensitive South Tamil Nadu,” he says.

Evidence Director A. Kathir, a Madurai -based NGO, said another example of how the last caste kills in the graded inequality system of the Tamil society.

While other caste murders were staged by people with a conservative mentality, this was committed by a teenager raised in an urban environment.

He says that these events are even in the same caste, pointing to complexity in such murders. “When a person with a programmed caste or the planned tribe is sacrificed, the planned castes and the planned tribes (the prevention of persecution) can be called, but the sacrifice can be done when the sacrifice or the sacrifice or the defendant arrive from the schedule”.

He says that approximately 51 murders were recorded on caste violence between 2017-2025 and that the conviction rate was less than 1%.

‘Special law is required’

Caste emphasizes the need for a exclusive action to cope with the murders of honor in gender or class, and after a year of work and research, a group of activists have created a special draft of action titled 2022, the prohibition of crimes on behalf of the freedom of marriage and relationship.

Frame Modus Operandi and social structure and applications in each state were reached after analyzing. He said that this draft should be in Parliament for discussion.

“Prime Minister MK Stalin promised to take an action to prevent crimes of honor in the opposition, but it has not been done so far,” he adds.

Meanwhile, the instructions specified by the Supreme Court Shakti Vahini – Indian Union Kathir was followed meticulously, and these crimes can be prevented in Tamil Association, which is loaded with caste.

In the murder of Kavin, the inspector who recorded the case was in the same community as the defendant. “Even though I don’t want to blame the entire police department, the police officials published in a region should not be dominant there for better policing, law and order,” he adds.

Human Rights Activist and General Manager of People’s Watch Henri Tiphagne claims that the police staff are among the defendants in this case; Therefore, their arrest is delayed. “Anyone should be arrested immediately and the case should be accelerated to ensure the fast punishment,” he adds.
