While the earlier death at wedding function news caused lot of sadness, this report from Tamil Nesan raises more question. The 23 year old dead victim (updated: victim name is R.Mohan) was supposed to leave for UK to study aeronautical engineering. Well, back in my school days, students who went for this course usually had double digit number of As for their SPM.
Questions are also being asked why the policeman was carrying his gun, and why shots were not aimed at the legs or arms (well, I guess panic).
Now there’s a call for an inquiry into the shooting citing that eyewitnesses who were present alleged that warning shots were only fired after the student had been shot.
Meanwhile the boy’s uncle G. Murali said the family would not claim the body from the hospital until a satisfactory answer came from the police over the shooting. Murali said the boy’s father, elder brother and two sisters were still being detained by the police for investigations.
