Panelists at a public hearing want civil society strengthened
“My son Nirupan Chakravarthi, who was fast asleep in his house with his two little children and his young wife, was attacked with deadly weapons by an armed gang at midnight in July 2019, and he died on the spot. The family is yet to come out of shock,” said a tired looking woman, mother of Chakravarthi, at a public hearing organised here by Evidence, an NGO, on Saturday.
She went on to say that the murderers warned the family members about a similar fate if they talked about it. It is said that Chakravarthi’s father shared information with Madurai Rural Police about robbers, ganja and arrack sellers in the locality, which irked them. Hence, a gang murdered Chakravarthi and warned that it would behead his father next, the woman in tears told the panelists.
