Madurai Head Constable Allegedly Murdered By Husband, Father Demands CID Probe

Madurai Head Constable Murdered : Virudhunagar’s Woman Head Constable Banupriya was allegedly murdered according to post-mortem reports. The accused in the case is reportedly her husband Vignesh.

Her father R. Chandrasekar filed a petition that requested a CB-CID (The Crime Branch, Crime Investigation Department) probe into the matter. The father of the deceased reportedly claimed that his daughter was strangulated with her own uniform belt following a fight with her husband.

He stated that the post-mortem report suggested that the constable was murdered. An FIR was reportedly filed against the accused who was neither detained nor taken into custody. The petitioner believed that the case was not being fairly probed by the Virudhunagar police and thus requested the involvement of the CB-CID.

The accused, a bus driver rejected all claims of murder. Eventually the case was adjourned.
