A 16-year-old boy, who had been reported missing since Sunday morning, was discovered deceased in a waterbody in Anaiyur, Koodal Pudur, on Monday. His family has raised concerns about the circumstances surrounding his death, suggesting that it may not have been accidental.
The deceased, identified as Tamilselvan, was found in the kanmoi (waterbody) after he went missing. These allegations have prompted the family to question whether the teenager’s death was accidental or involved other circumstances. However, police are continuing their investigation and have ruled out an honour-killing angle at this stage. On this basis, police have ruled out the possibility of the death being an honour killing. The police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the teenager’s death and are examining the available information to determine how he ended up in the waterbody.
Following the post-mortem examination, his family refused to accept the body, raising questions over the circumstances surrounding his death. The family has alleged that there could have been foul play. They suspect that Tamilselvan’s association with a girl from a different community may have played a role in his death. The family has raised concerns over the warning and the circumstances in which the teenager was later found dead.
Tamilselvan had been in contact with the girl, whose father had previously warned him against maintaining contact with her, according to the family.
