The Story in Brief
Gudiyatham town police arrested autorickshaw driver K. Aravindan, 45, on Friday for allegedly killing his wife, head constable Thamarai Selvi, 41, during a dispute over ancestral property in Vellore district. Police said Selvi had been living with their two sons at her mother’s house for two months after refusing to return until the property issue was settled.
According to The Hindu, Aravindan met Selvi while she was on duty in Erthangal village and took her near a lake to discuss the dispute. Police said he stabbed her neck with scissors during an argument and injured himself. Selvi was declared dead at a government hospital. Aravindan was sent to Vellore Government Medical College Hospital, and police have registered a case.
The Indian Opinion
This should not be reduced to a convenient story about a sudden quarrel or treated as proof that every property dispute turns violent. The reported history includes separation, alleged threats and an earlier petition by Aravindan’s brother’s family. Those details need verification, not speculation. The immediate test is whether investigators establish the sequence of events through witness accounts, medical evidence and the earlier petition, while ensuring the two children receive support and protection.
