Virudhunagar SP has cautioned against terming the murder a ‘caste killing’ since the couple belonged to same community. Three accused have been arrested.
Four people including executive magistrate (tehsildar) arrested so far. These certificates, according to the police, were even uploaded on the website of Delhi govt's revenue dept.
The clash had occurred in Datiya village, during which culprits opened fire on members of Dalit community and set fire to their homes. 9 other accused died during trial.
Wristbands, hair ribbons, wall posters, electric poles, street hoardings, flags, marriage announcements, films, songs — every symbol in Tamil Nadu's Tirunelveli district is stained with caste and billhook is the main weapon.
Inder Meghwal died Saturday — over 20 days after a teacher allegedly slapped him for drinking water from a clay pot. The family accuses the police of coverup.
