Kavin Selvaganesh, 23, was killed in Tirunelveli district, Tamil Nadu. Accused, Surjith Saravanan, is the son of a police officer couple. Police have filed a case of murder and invoked provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Kavin’s grieving family is yet to receive his body, escalating the emotional and social fallout.
The accused, identified as Surjith Saravanan, is the son of a police officer couple. According to police sources, Surjith was opposed to his sister’s relationship with Kavin and allegedly lured him on the pretext of a conversation before killing him.
