Madras High Court Criticizes Investigation; Special Team Probes Nanguneri Double Murder

Analysed 4 Sept 2026·2 sources analysed·Nanguneri, India·Crime

The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court expressed disappointment over the casual investigation into the March 2 double murder in Perumpathu, Nanguneri, where two men were killed and several injured in an attack by a gang. The court criticized the illogical motives proposed by investigators. Following the court's directive, a special investigation team was formed to strengthen the probe. Police identified caste-related enmity as a possible cause and arrested several suspects linked to the attack involving weapons and petrol bombs.
