A migrant worker from Bihar and his two-year-old child were found dead in Chennai's Adyar area, sparking political outrage and concerns over law and order.
A migrant worker from Bihar and his two-year-old child were found dead in separate locations in Chennai, triggering political reactions and raising questions over law and order in the city.
The body of the two-year-old child of Gourav Kumar was found near the Madhya Kailash river in Chennai. Madhya Kailash is located close to Adyar in south Chennai, a prime locality of the city. On Monday, police found the body of Gourav Kumar in a gunny bag on a busy road in the Adyar area.
According to Annamalai, Gourav Kumar, a migrant worker from Bihar, his wife and their two-year-old son were allegedly murdered by a gang of assailants, who were also migrant workers. He claimed the attackers were intoxicated and attempted to sexually assault Gourav’s wife. “When Gaurav intervened to protect her, he was killed, after which the attackers went on to murder his wife and their young child,” Annamalai said.
He further said that Gourav Kumar’s body was dumped in a sack on a busy Chennai road, while the child’s body has been recovered and the police are still searching for the body of the wife, who was allegedly sexually assaulted.
“Is Chennai safe under this DMK Govt?” Annamalai asked, adding that the incident reflected “the growing lawlessness in the state under the corrupt DMK government, where even the most basic right to life and safety appears to be eroding even in the capital city of the State.”
Meanwhile, DMK MP Kanimozhi also reacted to the incident, calling it shocking and deeply saddening. “The incident in which anti-social elements murdered a North Indian youth, along with his wife and child, in Chennai's Tharamani area is extremely shocking and deeply saddening. The news that the murdered woman was subjected to sexual assault is profoundly painful,” she said in a post on X.
