Awaiting job, solatium: Widow of cop-attack victim to SHRC
The New Indian Express Tirunelveli
|July 12, 2025
The widow of a van driver, who died after he was allegedly beaten up by three police personnel in Sankarankovil in March 2024, on Friday complained to the State Human Rights Commission that she is yet to be provided a government job and compensation as promised earlier.
The district administration replied that she had turned down the job. But the woman denied it.
According to sources, M Murugan (36), a Dalit, was allegedly beaten to death by three Sankarankovil police personnel after his van reportedly hit an autorickshaw. Following the incident, over 2,000 SC people staged a road blockade in Sankarankovil. Meena and her family members accepted Murugan's body 18 days later, only after the district administration promised her a job and compensation.
While the state ordered a CB-CID probe into Murugan's death, the SHRC took suo motu cognisance.
