The Story in Brief
A private college student in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, was allegedly beaten to death by fellow students, police said. Five people have been arrested, including a 17-year-old minor. The victim’s parents allege their son was killed because he tipped off police about drug trafficking and consumption on campus. Police, however, say the motive was past enmity. The exact circumstances are under investigation.
The Indian Opinion
The family’s drug-tip-off theory and the police’s past-enmity claim are both unverified. Lazy narratives will seize on either to push a larger story, drug gangs in colleges or police whitewash. The test is forensic: what evidence do the arrests yield, and does the minor’s role point to a larger racket or a simple brawl? The victim deserves facts, not scripts.
