Trial in Dalit youth murder case stayed

Madurai, Jul 22 (PTI) The Madras High Court today stayed the trial in
connection with the murder of a Dalit youth four years ago in Tiruchi
in which a local DMK functionary is the main accused.

Justice R Mala admitting a PIL filed by advocate G Akila Rajan ordered
issue of notice to the State Home Secretary, ADGP Crime Branch CID,
DSP CB-CID, and M Palaniyandi, DMK secretary at Manikandam in
Tiruchirappalli.

Rajan alleged that the main accused, who was close to former minister
K N Nehru, got bail on the ninth day of the murder of Purushothaman at
Somarasampettai on July 29, 2007.

DSP Anbunesan, who investigated the case facilitated the release on
bail by creating false statements of the wife of Purushothaman, the
complainant, and other witnesses, Rajan alleged.

Even after the case was transferred to the CB-CID on the orders of the
Madras High court, the omissions and commissions made in the
investigation by Anbunesan continued, the petitioner charged.

Rajan said the bail was cancelled following the intervention of the
high court and the trial was on in the Tiruchi district and sessions
court.

The petitioner alleged that during the previous DMK regime political
intervention was rampant in police functioning. "There was no progress
in the criminal case in the last four years due to vested interests.
Now with change of political climate and government could bring
progress."
He pleaded that the court should direct the Home Secretary and ADGP to
hand over the investigation to a competent police officer it and stay
the trial.
