27-year-old man hacked to death in KTC Nagar

  • In Tirunelveli’s Palayankottai area, a 27-year-old Dalit software engineer, Kavin Selva Ganesh, was hacked to death on July 27, with suspect S Surjith charged under multiple laws, police say.
  • The murder was reportedly driven by Kavin’s one-sided interest in Subashini, with her family opposing their relationship, causing escalating tensions.
  • Eyewitnesses reported the attack unfolded after Surjith lured Kavin under a pretext before hacking him with a sickle just 200 metres from the private Siddha hospital in KTC Nagar.
  • S Surjith surrendered shortly after the attack near the hospital and faces charges including murder, attempt to murder, illegal weapon use, and violations of the SC/ST Act.
  • As CCTV footage is analysed, Dalit rights activists and family members are demanding a thorough probe and stringent punishment for all involved.
