The Tirupur Principal Court on Tuesday reportedly convicted eight accused including Kausalya's father in the killing of 22-year-old Shankar, a Dalit youth, in Udumalpet on March 13, 2016. Shankar’s wife Kausalya was also brutally attacked during the incident. Three persons brutally attacked Shankar and Kausalya in full public view at the behest of her father, a caste Hindu who was opposed to their inter-caste marriage. However, there is no clarity on whether the other three accused - Kausalya's mother, her uncle and two people who gave rooms to the killers - will be found guilty or not as the judge did not address them at the time of writing.
