Parents of youth with ADHD approach SP after learning he may have been killed while residing at Pollachi facility

COIMBATORE District (Rural) police have formed six special teams to probe the disappearance of a 23-year-old man with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), who is suspected to have been killed while residing at a home for persons with intellectual disabilities at Pollachi. The police have detained two of the six persons associated with the home and are tracing others.
The missing youth was identified as SR Varunkanth, son of T Ravikumar and Banumathi of Amman Nagar at Karavali Mathappur. The trustees had told the parents that their son had gone missing while on an outing to Aliyar dam. However, the parents later received information that their son had been badly beaten by staff at the home on May 12 and had sourced a video in which the youth was seen seated on the floor with severe injuries.
