Expressing concern over easy access to ganja, a fact-finding team from Evidence, an NGO in Madurai, appealed to police to deal with the issue with an iron hand.
A Dalit youth, Pasupathi Kannan, 27, of Manthai Aman Koil Street in Sikkandar Chavadi here, reportedly questioned some youth for misbehaving in public four days ago, and he was allegedly murdered within two days.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Evidence Executive Director A. Kathir said when the local youth brought a cake to celebrate birthday of one of them on Manthai Amman Koil Street and were cutting it with a plastic knife, some youth descended there and brandished knives and aruvals to cut the cake. They were also smoking ganja and teasing the local youth.
