Tamil Nadu: Govt officer hacked to death over complaint against sand mafia, CM announces Rs 1 crore aid to kin
A 53-year-old Village Administrative Officer (VAO) was hacked to death on Tuesday at his office in Murappanadu at Srivaikundam Taluk in Tamil Nadu’s Thoothukudi district on Tuesday, according to district collector K Senthil Raj.
Addressing reporters after visiting the hospital, collector Senthil Raj said the deceased, identified as Y Lourthu Francis, was working at VAO at Murappanadu for about 1.5 years.
“At around 12:30 p.m., two people with sickles had reached the office and hacked him to death. He suffered several cuts on his hand and head. The attackers soon fled the spot and based on the information, the VAO was soon shifted to the Tirunelveli medical college and hospital. Though the doctors tried their best, we were unable to save him. He was an honest and brave officer,” the collector said.
Chief Minister MK Stalin said that one of the two assailants, Ramasubbu, has been arrested.
Stalin said as per the initial investigation, VAO Francis had lodged a complaint against Ramasubbu on charges of sand smuggling and a case was also registered against him. In an act of revenge, Ramasubbu along with another person reached the VAO’s office and killed him, the CM added.
Expressing his deepest condolences to the bereaved family, Stalin said the state government honours Francis’ responsibility and sense of duty. The chief minister said he has issued orders to provide a solatium of Rs 1 crore to the victim’s family and a government job would also be offered to one of them.
