A 26-year-old man, who was recently granted bail in a robbery case, was allegedly hacked to death by a woman at her residence in Sivakasi after she accused him of repeatedly harassing and sexually troubling her, police said.
Thanga Muneeswaran was released on bail four days ago and had been appearing at the Sivakasi East Police Station daily to sign as part of his bail conditions. Based on the complaint, Sivakasi East Police registered a case and arrested Thanga Muneeswaran and five of his associates. They were subsequently remanded in judicial custody. After receiving information, a police team led by Sivakasi East Inspector Navaneetha Krishnan recovered the body and sent it to the Government Medical College Hospital in Virudhunagar for post-mortem examination.
Marudhai, a resident of Vijayalakshmi Colony in Sivakasi, had lodged a complaint in May alleging that a six-member gang had trespassed into her house while she was with her friends, including Eswari and Thilagam from Anuppankulam village, according to police. Police said that after his release, Thanga Muneeswaran allegedly started visiting Marudhai’s house every day and picking fights with her.
