Father-in-law kills son-in-law in 3 months after the wedding.

The victim, Ramachandran (24), was a milk vendor from Ramanayakkanpatti in Tamil Nadu. He was hacked to death, allegedly by his father-in-law in Tamil Nadu’s Dindigul district, just three months after his wedding. As per the police, it was an inter-caste marriage. The victim had fallen in love with Aarthi (21), a BCom 2nd year student from Ganapathipatti near Batlagundu, after connecting with her on Instagram. Despite opposition from her family, the two got married three months ago.

What happened with Ramchandran?

On Sunday evening, while Ramchandran was riding his 2-wheeler to Kuzhipatti, he was allegedly intercepted near the KoottathuAyyampalayambridge by his father-in-law, Chandran (49). The police said that a heated argument broke out between the two during which Chandran allegedly pulled out a sickle and repeatedly attacked Ramachandran on his head, hands, and legs. Visuals from the spot showed the young man lying in a pool of blood, and he died on the spot.

Police from Nilakottai rushed to the scene, recovered the body and sent it to the Nilakottai Government Hospital for post-mortem. A case of murder has been registered, and police are now searching for Chandran, who is on the run. A senior officer told a leading portal, “It does not appear to be a case of dishonour killing as of now. Neither of them is from a Scheduled Caste. We are investigating the motive.”
