On 16/08/2010, a complaint was registered against the Ex Regional Manager Mr. Issac and Mr. Pichaiah for smuggling civil supplies. But no action was taken on this compliant. On 17/08/2010, in the SIPCOT Police Station, while Supervisor Pichaiah was under interrogation, present Regional Manager came into the PS and asked Mr. Murugan to withdraw the complaint and told that the issue will be solved amicably through discussion. But no action was taken against the Regional Manager.

Police filed the case as suicide, ignoring the injury marks over his body. No person can drink ½ litre of poison. Hence some social activists and relatives of the victim, staged protest seeking the arrest of the perpetrators and to investigate the case. The Victim’s family was not compensated adequately. The Police department is negligent to take action against the real culprits who were involved in the smuggling of civil supplies. Proper IPC sections regarding murder and PoA Act sections were not invoked regarding this atrocity. Direction for CBI investigation should be given to ensure fair investigation and justice to the victims family.

Laxmi Devi (18) w/o Dukhi Bhuiyan is resident of Dhaniwar Bhuiyan Bighwa village under Rishiyap police station in Aurangabad Dist., belongs to Musahar (SC) caste.

N. Bharath (15), S/o Narayanaswamy, belongs to dalit community, is a resident of Erappavur village, Koanur Post, Thittakudi Taluk, Cuddalore District. Bharath is studying 10^th standard. He is pursuing his studies by staying in the Pennadam SC Hostel. On 02/09/2010, around 08.30 am he was found hanging in a rope tied to the window by the hostel inmate Veeramani. Veeramani reported this to the hostel warden and the cooks. Before the arrival of the Police to the spot, hostel warden and the two cooks of the hostel, untied the rope and brought down his body.

Bharath being a active member of Indian Students Movement, objected the corrupt practices and misdeeds of the hostel administration. CPI (M),  Union Secretary suspects the hostel warden and the cooks in the mysterious death of Bharath. Backialakshmi, mother of Bharath, told that Bharath was found normal on that day while going to school. She found blood leakage from his ears, this further fans the suspicion of the untimely death.

Bharath height was about 5 feet; the window in which he was found hanging was about 5 feet; and the rope he used to hang himself is about 2.5 feet. Hence 5 feet tall person, hanging himself at the height of 5 feet with a rope length of 2.5 feet is not practical and nearly impossible. Even when Veeramani reported this to the warden and the cooks, their reaction was not spontaneous and they have not shown any shock reaction to this news. Given all the circumstantial evidences the warden and the cooks were found to be involved in the heinous crime of killing him and hanged him in the window. But the police department filed this case as suicide and no further investigation was conducted with the murder perspective.
