The Tamil Nadu government on Monday announced the constitution of a Commission of Inquiry to go into the cause of the death of Dharampuri Dalit youth E. Ilavarasan, whose body was found near a railway track behind the Dharmapuri Government Arts College on Thursday.
The Commission of Inquiry would be headed by S.R. Singaravelu, former Judge of Madras High Court, according to a statement issued by Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Monday.
The constitution of the Commission of Inquiry had been made in view of doubts and varied opinion expressed by Ilavarasan’s father, social activists, political leaders and the media on the circumstances leading to the death of the youth. The probe panel would ascertain truth behind the death, Ms. Jayalalithaa said.
