Man stabs daughter to protect family ‘honour’
Engg Student Wanted To Marry A Dalit Boy
An engineering student escaped with injuries in her neck and abdomen after her father attempted to kill her on Monday after she refused to end her love affair with a dalit youth.
S Sundaramoorthy, 46, wanted his daughter S Gnanavalli, 21, to marry a groom from their community. He attacked her on Monday morning as she was proceeding to her college in Chidambaram in Cuddalore district of north Tamil Nadu.
Sundaramoorthy, a farmer, belongs to a dominant caste in Melavalaiammadevi village near Vriddhachalam. Gnanavalli was staying in her relative’s house in Chidambaram and studying final year civil engineering at a private college. She was going to the college when Sundaramoorthy stopped her at Annamalai Nagar and repeatedly stabbed her in the neck and abdomen and escaped.
Passersby, shocked by the violent incident, rushed Gnanavalli to a nearby private hospital.
A police team from Annamalai Nagar police station reached the spot and began inquiries. They managed to trace Sundaramoorthy and arrest him. Preliminary inquiries revealed that Gnanavalli was in love with a dalit youth but her parents and relatives were pressuring her to marry a person chosen by them. Her parents had even fixed the date for her engagement.
In a last-ditch attempt, her parents and relatives met her on Sunday evening at a temple in Chidambaram in an effort to convince her to marry the groom they had chosen. However, Gnanavalli refused to heed their request.
Upset over her defiance, Sundaramoorthy decided to murder her “to protect the dignity of the family”. Armed with a knife, he reached Chidambaram on Monday and waited at a bus stop near her college. He stabbed her repeatedly as soon as he noticed her coming out of a shop.
“It is a clear case of attempt to murder to protect family honour. Sundaramoorthy said he wanted to murder his daughter to safeguard the dignity of the family. He was upset and angry as his daughter refused to heed his advice,” Annamalai Nagar inspector A Arokiyaraj said.
Gnanavalli, undergoing treatment at the private hospital, was out of danger.
Police booked Sundaramoorthy on charges of attempt to murder. He was remanded in judicial custody by a local court.
