Mr.Murugan was working as Assistant Quality Control Inspector in the State Civil Supplies Corporation, Thoothukudi. He was an honest and diligent official. While on duty he had noticed some pilferages and illegal smuggling of the stored food items of the Government storehouse which are for distribution under the PDS. He suspected that it is the handiwork of some colleagues with the connivance of higher officials. He therefore raised the issue with his superior officer, the Divisional Manager, Civil Supplies Corporation by preferring a written complaint. The Divisional Manager in turn pacified him and instructed not to mind of the crime. Not satisfied with this, Mr.Murugan gave a written complaint to Police in the Thoothukudi Sipcot Police Station. When the police made enquiries, the Divisional Manager has used his clout and threatened Mr.Murugan over telephone to withdraw the complaint. Deterred with this act of the superior officer Mr.Murugan chose to wait and watch for some more time. Mr.Murugan had briefed his wife Mrs.Selvi about all these happenings in his office and even cautioned her over the impending threat to his life. Things being so Mr.Murugan went to office as usual on 07.09.2010 in the morning and suddenly in the afternoon at around 3.30 P.M., Mr.Murugan’s wife, Mrs.Selvi received a call informing her that her husband was admitted to Government General Hospital, Thoothukudi. She rushed to the hospital immediately and found from the hospital authorities that Mr.Murugan is hospitalized for consuming poison. When she saw her husband in the hospital he was half-clothed with only a trouser. Blood clots, contusions and bruises were seen by her in his body. She could not find who has admitted him to the hospital as no one from his office could be seen around. When asked to the hospital authorities they conveyed that Mr.Murugan was brought in a load auto and they were informed that the person had consumed poison. Perturbed over these strange turn of events Mrs.Selvi suspected of some foul play as her husband went to office normally as usual on that day also and there is no reason for him to consume poison. There was no compelling reason and everything was absolutely normal at home. Therefore she understood that his office colleagues who are involved in the theft of PDS items and whom Mr.Murugan suspected and complained, had with the connivance of higher officials have beaten him and forcibly fed poison to eliminate him and thus divert police attention to evade arrest. Thus she lodged a complaint with the district Superintendent of Police, Thoothukudi. No action was forthcoming. Unmindful of the details Mrs.Selvi gave in the complaint, the police had in fact filed a suicide case against her husband by then. In the mean time Mr.Murugan died two days later on 11.07.2010 succumbing to the injuries and forcible intake of poison. On 12.07.2010 post mortem was conducted on Mr.Murugan’s dead body without proper enquiry and also without the signature of his wife or any of his relatives. Therefore Mrs.Selvi and her relatives refused to accept the body of Mr.Murugan. Further Mrs.Selvi went on fast until death from 13.09.2010 onwards in front of the district Collector’s office, demanding arrest of the suspected culprits and rendering of proper justice. The district administration remained a mute spectator without taking any action. However likeminded political parties like the CPI, CPM, CPI(ML), BSP, Puthiya Tamilagam, DPI, Periyar Diravidar kazakam, Athi Tamilar peravai, Naam Tamilar kadsi etc have taken up the issue and participated in the fasting and also took processions in Thoothukudi to impress upon the higher authorities for taking stern action against the culprits. The suspected culprits are the Divisonal Manager Mr.Chidambaram, Mr.Ayya Pillai, Mr.Isaac, and Mr.Ramesh and their hooligans who perpetrated this heinous crime. On 27th Evening all parties and Social Movements in Tuticorin have decided to conduct Mass Agitation against this issue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
