Accused and Victim Relatives

According to reports, the accused was a close relative of the victim. The accused had reportedly leased 11 TASMAC bars, including one bar in Dharapuram to the victim Kalaiyappan. The accused had struck a deal with Kalaiyappan that the victim would pay the rent, and he would receive profits from the bar.

However, due to pandemic, the victim couldn’t pay the rent and asked the accused to reduce it. When the accused refused to do so, the victim gave away the management of the bar to the accused and left to his hometown.

Accused Found Out Victim was Thinking of Killing him

The entire ordeal between the two caused friction and created enmity. Earlier when the accused had gone to Sivaganga, he found out that the victim was trying to eliminate him. Reacting to the information, the accused decided to take out the victim before he could put his plan in motion. The accused conspired with his five friends, and earlier last week, hacked the victim to death.
