IN a case of murder for caste pride, a 22-year-old Dalit youth was hacked to death allegedly by a five-member gang, which included the brother-inlaw of the deceased, near a bar in Pallikaranai of Chennai on Saturday night.

All the accused were arrested on Sunday.
The deceased, identified as G Pravin alias Ashiq of Pallikaranai, was a bike mechanic who started working with his father Gopi soon after his schooling. According to Pallikaranai police, Pravin and D Sharmila (20) of Jalladianpet, now a fourth-year student at a private college, were in a relationship from their school days.
While Pravin was from the Adi Dravidar community of the Scheduled Castes (SC), Sharmila belongs to the Yadava community which is an Other Backward Caste (OBC). The couple married despite her parents' opposition in October 2023.
