Parents Protest Quashing of Charges in Kavin Selvaganesh Caste Killing Case
The parents of slain software engineer Kavin Selvaganesh have begun protesting the Madras High Court's quashing of the final report against the parents of the prime accused, S. Surjith, citing insufficient evidence. They demand further investigation by the CBCID, including scrutiny of police involvement and alleged evidence destruction. The People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) criticized the High Court's decision, urging the State government to appeal and allow a deeper trial court examination, emphasizing the case's context as an alleged caste-based honour killing.
