A 24-year-old gaana singer, Jeeva, was allegedly murdered by the family members of his girlfriend in Perungalathur, near Chennai. Jeeva, belonging to a Scheduled Caste community, had been in a relationship with a young woman from a different caste for the past two years. However, her family disapproved and arranged her engagement with another man.
Jeeva confronted her family, leading to an argument. His body was found near a graveyard, along with his dead pet dog. The girl’s family is suspected to have attacked Jeeva with a machete and stones, resulting in his death. An investigation is underway, and the police are searching for those involved in the murder.
