"Some 20 students chased him. He ran towards the back of the college. The gang returned after half an hour but Thanikaivel didn't," said a student.* * * * When he failed to turn up till Monday evening, his friends informed the family and they lodged a complaint at the Saidapet police station. Thanikaivel was a student of economics and lived on New Avadi Road.
Based on the complaint by Thanikaivel's father Kannappan, a retired police head constable, the Saidapet police searched for him. On Tuesday, they found his body in the river. The body was sent to the Government Hospital in Royapettah for postmortem. "We will get the autopsy report on Wednesday. We are waiting for the doctor's report to continue our investigation," said Adyar deputy commissioner of police K A Senthilvelan. Police said there were no external injuries on the body. Asection of students said Thanikaivel was targeted by a group which was angry that he did not participate in an anti-corruption protest they had organized recently on campus. "Thanikaivel and his friends refused to take part in the protest," said N Prakash, a college student. In the past year, there have been four incidents of violence in the college, in which students were seriously injured. The two groups of students allegedly quarreled inside the college on Monday. "One of the groups overpowered the other. They then targeted Thanikaivel as he was the leader and chased him till Adyar river," said Prakash, quoting eyewitnesses. "They said Thanikaivel jumped into the river and tried to escape. The students followed him and pelted stones at him. As Thanikaivel fainted, the others returned to the college leaving him in the river," said Prakash. The Saidapet police have registered a case under section 174 (suspicious death) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. In his complaint, Kannappan said his son died mysteriously. He wanted the police to probe the issue. * -- Adv Kamayani Bali Mahabal +919820749204 skype-lawyercumactivist * * *The UID project i**s going to do almost exactly the same thing which the predecessors of Hitler did, else how is it that Germany always had the lists of Jewish names even prior to the arrival of the Nazis? The Nazis got these lists with the help of IBM which was in the 'census' business that included racial census that entailed not only count the Jews but also identifying them. At the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, there is an exhibit of an IBM Hollerith D-11 card sorting machine that was responsible for organising the census of 1933 that first identified the Jews.* * * *http://saynotoaadhaar.blogspot.com/* *http://aadhararticles.blogspot.com/* *http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_162987527061902&ap=1*< http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_162987527061902&ap=1> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "humanrights movement" group.
