Widow Brutally Raped, Murdered & Body Thrown In Cornfield In Kallakurichi District, Two Arrested

Police arrested two individuals for questioning in connection with the brutal rape and murder of a widow, whose body was found discarded in a cornfield near Chinnaselam in Kallakurichi district.

Over the past week, the police have been working to solve the case and identify the victim. In connection with the investigation, a local tea shop owner named Kumaresan and another individual, Bell Mani, have been taken into custody, and further inquiries are ongoing.

The victim, Nirmala, a 28-year-old woman from a village in Chinnasalem taluka, had already faced tragedy in her life, losing her husband to electrocution four years ago. She had been living with her two young daughters since then.

On 26 December 2024, she visited her home with her children, and later that night, she informed her family that she was heading out to deliver milk at the cooperative society. However, she never returned.

The following morning, a neighbour found her dupatta, mobile phone, and chappals scattered in a nearby field. Further investigation revealed the harrowing truth that the woman had been raped and murdered. The Chinnasalem police have registered a case and begun their inquiry. District Superintendent of Police Rajat Chaturvedi and DSP Devaraj personally inspected the crime scene and are overseeing the investigation.
