Two months after the brutal murder of G Praveen, a 22-year-old Dalit man, his wife Sharmila, 21, allegedly attempted suicide and later died on Monday, April 22, in a Chennai hospital. Praveen’s family, including his mother Chitra, believes Sharmila’s suicide was a result of distress caused by alleged police negligence and caste violence. They filed a complaint with the Tambaram Police Commissioner, claiming that the police failed to adequately inform them about the bail hearing for Praveen’s alleged killers, leading to Sharmila’s distress and subsequent suicide attempt.
