In a suspected case of honour-killing, a 21-year-old Dalit man, Sankar, was allegedly murdered by his caste-Hindu wife's relatives in Udumalaipettai in Tiruppur on Sunday afternoon. He died on the way to the Coimbatore Government Hospital where his body has been kept.

The police are still investigating the case.

The caste-Hindu girl, 19-year-old Kowsalya, was also severely injured in the incident. The assailants were caught on camera, and the images of the three of them on a bike with sickles in hand are doing the rounds on social media. The News Minute has been unable to independently verify the authenticity of the images at this stage.

Sankar got married to Kowsalya eight months ago, according to initial reports. While Sankar was from Udumalaipettai, it is reported that the girl hailed from Palani and belonged to an influential community. Sankar was reportedly a final year engineering student at PA College of Engineering in Pollachi. Kowsalya was pursuing BSc in Computer Science at a college in Udumalpet.

The incident happened when they both went out for shopping on Sunday afternoon. The police have formed a special team to nab the suspects.

Talking to The News Minute, Ganeshan, Sankar's cousin said, “We are pallars, also known as devendra kula vellalars. The girl is from a higher caste. The girl’s family was unhappy initially with the wedding, and they even came and threatened her 15 days ago, but the girl did not go back.”

He added, “We suspect that they were hacked due to the inter-caste marriage."

Sankar comes from a poor family. His father works as a coolie. Veluchamy, Sankar's father said, “The girl's family have been repeatedly threatening to kill Sankar. They tried to kill him two to three months back also. This is the third attempt."

“There was no money with the father to even take a bus to Coimbatore. He has borrowed money to come now,” said Ganeshan.

More details awaited.

good thing they caught the whole murder on tape so maybe the killers receive long sentences. not much left for her now with a family like that and a dead husband. no wonder many commit suicide over there

Either the onlookers agree with that behaviour or they are cowards. So many people about, and not one thought to do anything. Not even so much as get upset about it. Just stand there gawking.

This is why I don't get team sports. I never see where the ball or puck is. There's too much shit happening at the same time. I just can't figure out where the action happens in this video. I just see a bunch of people starting to crowd the place.

I just dont understand how 3 mother fuckers fit on that little 250cc bike and roll like its normal shit

New era of hackers on the loose..

[Daveroo]

a small bike,with three even smaller minded people on it......makes sense to me that they would not only kill the husband of their own relatives,but also attack the relative.small minds + small hands + small feet + small dicks = The Richard Cranium Family,lil Dick Head JR,lil Dick Head II,and LiL Dick Head III ...think Huey,Louie,and Dewey ( i know a man by the name of Dewey Hopper,news weatherman....whenever i'd talk to him,i'd greet him with Dew Eey Hop ? ) others who come to mind are Curly,Moe and Larry...and have to toss in Shemp!!!
