For marrying a Dalit, man slits daughter's throat in police station

CHENNAI: A man was arrested for slitting the throat of his daughter at
the Red Hills police station on Monday. He was called to the police
station after his daughter, who eloped with a Dalit, requested
protection as her family was against the marriage.
S Ezhumalai arrived at the police station with a knife hidden in his
trousers and caught everyone by surprise by attacking Kalaivani, his
daughter.
Kalaivani, who married P Joshua a week ago, is battling for life at a
private hospital. A magistrate court sent Ezhumalai to 15-day custody
in the Ponneri sub jail.
Following a complaint by Joshua and Kalaivani that they feared for
their lives as her family was against their marriage, Red Hills police
inspector K Kumaran called Ezhumalai for talks. "Ezhumalai, a real
estate businessman, came to the station dressed in a pair of trousers
and shirt. As soon as he entered, he walked towards Kalaivani, pulled
out a knife from his pocket and slit her throat," Kumaran said.
Kalaivani, an undergraduate student, fled home on January 21 to get
married to Joshua in a city church. She had met Joshua, an employee of
a private firm in Ambattur, some 18 months ago through a common
friend. Fearing opposition, she did not disclose her relationship to
her family and registered her marriage at the sub-registrar's office
in Egmore last week.
