&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Police have booked former DMKlegislator B Ranganathan as the prime accused in the murder of a man who was fighting against land-grabbers in Avadi on the outskirts of Chennai.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
S Bhuvaneswaran, 38, was hacked to death in the presence of his four-year-old daughter in Kolathur on Tuesday. Bhuvaneswaran had filed RTI applications to retrieve titles on about 18 acres of land belonging to his family and other acquaintances after the plots were forcibly occupied by a gang, allegedly led by the former DMK MLA. He was in the process of filing more RTI applications to help other owners strengthen their claims on roughly 82 acres of encroached land in Veerapuram near Avadi.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Bhuvaneswaran, who lived in Gandhi Nagar in Kolathur, was on a motorcycle with his daughter on Tuesday around 12.15pm when two bike riders intercepted them on Fifth Cross Street near his house. One of them grabbed the girl. The other got off the bike and hacked Bhuvaneswaran with a sickle. They abandoned the child on the road and fled, police said. Neighbours called the family who took Bhuvaneswaran to a nearby hospital and later to Kilpauk Medical College Hospital where doctors declared him &amp;quot;dead on arrival.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
West Chennai joint commissioner of police K Shankar and Villivakkam assistant commissioner of police K Kannan visited the murder scene. Preliminary inquiries revealed it was a murder allegedly instigated in connection with the land encroachment.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The prime accused, Ranganathan, is among several former DMK MLAs and ministers who have been booked on land-grabbing charges after the AIADMK government took over. Ranganathan was arrested in August 2011 on a similar land-grab charge but released on bail. Subsequently, he was detained under the stringent Goondas Act.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Bhuvaneswaran&#039;s father Siva, in his complaint, said Ranganathan could be behind the killing. Siva, who worked as a ticket examiner in the State Express Transport Corporation, was given power of attorney by a friend, Madhavan, for a 30-acre property in Morea village in Veerapuram near Avadi. Siva said he took voluntary retirement from SETC to look after the property. He later sold 20 of the 30 acres and gave a share of the profits to Madhavan. Later, Madhavan gave the remaining 10 acres to Siva as a gift.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Siva said a group of people allegedly backed by Ranganathan had encroached on 100 acres of land, including 30 acres belonging to him and Madhavan. Bhuvaneswaran had fought a legal case, filed many RTI applications and staged demonstrations to attract the government&#039;s attention. He managed to recover more than 18 acres and had filed more RTIs to retrieve the rest, police said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Kolathur police have registered a murder case and launched a hunt for the accused.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;

Police have booked former DMKlegislator B Ranganathan as the prime accused in the murder of a man who was fighting against land-grabbers in Avadi on the outskirts of Chennai.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
S Bhuvaneswaran, 38, was hacked to death in the presence of his four-year-old daughter in Kolathur on Tuesday. Bhuvaneswaran had filed RTI applications to retrieve titles on about 18 acres of land belonging to his family and other acquaintances after the plots were forcibly occupied by a gang, allegedly led by the former DMK MLA. He was in the process of filing more RTI applications to help other owners strengthen their claims on roughly 82 acres of encroached land in Veerapuram near Avadi.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Bhuvaneswaran, who lived in Gandhi Nagar in Kolathur, was on a motorcycle with his daughter on Tuesday around 12.15pm when two bike riders intercepted them on Fifth Cross Street near his house. One of them grabbed the girl. The other got off the bike and hacked Bhuvaneswaran with a sickle. They abandoned the child on the road and fled, police said. Neighbours called the family who took Bhuvaneswaran to a nearby hospital and later to Kilpauk Medical College Hospital where doctors declared him &amp;quot;dead on arrival.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
West Chennai joint commissioner of police K Shankar and Villivakkam assistant commissioner of police K Kannan visited the murder scene. Preliminary inquiries revealed it was a murder allegedly instigated in connection with the land encroachment.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The prime accused, Ranganathan, is among several former DMK MLAs and ministers who have been booked on land-grabbing charges after the AIADMK government took over. Ranganathan was arrested in August 2011 on a similar land-grab charge but released on bail. Subsequently, he was detained under the stringent Goondas Act.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Bhuvaneswaran&#039;s father Siva, in his complaint, said Ranganathan could be behind the killing. Siva, who worked as a ticket examiner in the State Express Transport Corporation, was given power of attorney by a friend, Madhavan, for a 30-acre property in Morea village in Veerapuram near Avadi. Siva said he took voluntary retirement from SETC to look after the property. He later sold 20 of the 30 acres and gave a share of the profits to Madhavan. Later, Madhavan gave the remaining 10 acres to Siva as a gift.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Siva said a group of people allegedly backed by Ranganathan had encroached on 100 acres of land, including 30 acres belonging to him and Madhavan. Bhuvaneswaran had fought a legal case, filed many RTI applications and staged demonstrations to attract the government&#039;s attention. He managed to recover more than 18 acres and had filed more RTIs to retrieve the rest, police said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Kolathur police have registered a murder case and launched a hunt for the accused.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;

Siva said he took voluntary retirement from SETC to look after the property. He later sold 20 of the 30 acres and gave a share of the profits to Madhavan.

Police have booked former DMKlegislator B Ranganathan as the prime accused in the murder of a man who was fighting against land-grabbers in Avadi on the outskirts of Chennai.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
S Bhuvaneswaran, 38, was hacked to death in the presence of his four-year-old daughter in Kolathur on Tuesday. Bhuvaneswaran had filed RTI applications to retrieve titles on about 18 acres of land belonging to his family and other acquaintances after the plots were forcibly occupied by a gang, allegedly led by the former DMK MLA. He was in the process of filing more RTI applications to help other owners strengthen their claims on roughly 82 acres of encroached land in Veerapuram near Avadi.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Bhuvaneswaran, who lived in Gandhi Nagar in Kolathur, was on a motorcycle with his daughter on Tuesday around 12.15pm when two bike riders intercepted them on Fifth Cross Street near his house. One of them grabbed the girl. The other got off the bike and hacked Bhuvaneswaran with a sickle. They abandoned the child on the road and fled, police said.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
West Chennai joint commissioner of police K Shankar and Villivakkam assistant commissioner of police K Kannan visited the murder scene. Preliminary inquiries revealed it was a murder allegedly instigated in connection with the land encroachment.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The prime accused, Ranganathan, is among several former DMK MLAs and ministers who have been booked on land-grabbing charges after the AIADMK government took over. Ranganathan was arrested in August 2011 on a similar land-grab charge but released on bail. Subsequently, he was detained under the stringent Goondas Act.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Bhuvaneswaran&#039;s father Siva, in his complaint, said Ranganathan could be behind the killing. Siva, who worked as a ticket examiner in the State Express Transport Corporation, was given power of attorney by a friend, Madhavan, for a 30-acre property in Morea village in Veerapuram near Avadi.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

Siva said a group of people allegedly backed by Ranganathan had encroached on 100 acres of land, including 30 acres belonging to him and Madhavan. Bhuvaneswaran had fought a legal case, filed many RTI applications and staged demonstrations to attract the government&#039;s attention.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Kolathur police have registered a murder case and launched a hunt for the accused.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Police have booked former DMKlegislator B Ranganathan as the prime accused in the murder of a man who was fighting against land-grabbers in Avadi on the outskirts of Chennai.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
S Bhuvaneswaran, 38, was hacked to death in the presence of his four-year-old daughter in Kolathur on Tuesday. Bhuvaneswaran had filed RTI applications to retrieve titles on about 18 acres of land belonging to his family and other acquaintances after the plots were forcibly occupied by a gang, allegedly led by the former DMK MLA. He was in the process of filing more RTI applications to help other owners strengthen their claims on roughly 82 acres of encroached land in Veerapuram near Avadi.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Bhuvaneswaran, who lived in Gandhi Nagar in Kolathur, was on a motorcycle with his daughter on Tuesday around 12.15pm when two bike riders intercepted them on Fifth Cross Street near his house. One of them grabbed the girl. The other got off the bike and hacked Bhuvaneswaran with a sickle. They abandoned the child on the road and fled, police said. Neighbours called the family who took Bhuvaneswaran to a nearby hospital and later to Kilpauk Medical College Hospital where doctors declared him &amp;quot;dead on arrival.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
West Chennai joint commissioner of police K Shankar and Villivakkam assistant commissioner of police K Kannan visited the murder scene. Preliminary inquiries revealed it was a murder allegedly instigated in connection with the land encroachment.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The prime accused, Ranganathan, is among several former DMK MLAs and ministers who have been booked on land-grabbing charges after the AIADMK government took over. Ranganathan was arrested in August 2011 on a similar land-grab charge but released on bail. Subsequently, he was detained under the stringent Goondas Act.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Bhuvaneswaran&#039;s father Siva, in his complaint, said Ranganathan could be behind the killing. Siva, who worked as a ticket examiner in the State Express Transport Corporation, was given power of attorney by a friend, Madhavan, for a 30-acre property in Morea village in Veerapuram near Avadi. Siva said he took voluntary retirement from SETC to look after the property. He later sold 20 of the 30 acres and gave a share of the profits to Madhavan. Later, Madhavan gave the remaining 10 acres to Siva as a gift.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Siva said a group of people allegedly backed by Ranganathan had encroached on 100 acres of land, including 30 acres belonging to him and Madhavan. Bhuvaneswaran had fought a legal case, filed many RTI applications and staged demonstrations to attract the government&#039;s attention. He managed to recover more than 18 acres and had filed more RTIs to retrieve the rest, police said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Kolathur police have registered a murder case and launched a hunt for the accused.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;

RTI activist murdered in Kolathur by land mafia by A Selvaraj

Police have booked former DMKlegislator B Ranganathan as the prime accused in the murder of a man who was fighting against land-grabbers in Avadi on the outskirts of Chennai.  S Bhuvaneswaran, 38, was hacked to death in the presence of his four-year-old daughter in Kolathur on Tuesday. Bhuvaneswaran had filed RTI applications to retrieve titles on about 18 acres of land belonging to his family and other acquaintances after the plots were forcibly occupied by a gang, allegedly led by the former DMK MLA. He was in the process of filing more RTI applications to help other owners strengthen their claims on roughly 82 acres of encroached land in Veerapuram near Avadi.  Bhuvaneswaran, who lived in Gandhi Nagar in Kolathur, was on a motorcycle with his daughter on Tuesday around 12.15pm when two bike riders intercepted them on Fifth Cross Street near his house. One of them grabbed the girl. The other got off the bike and hacked Bhuvaneswaran with a sickle. They abandoned the child on the road and fled, police said. Neighbours called the family who took Bhuvaneswaran to a nearby hospital and later to Kilpauk Medical College Hospital where doctors declared him "dead on arrival."  West Chennai joint commissioner of police K Shankar and Villivakkam assistant commissioner of police K Kannan visited the murder scene. Preliminary inquiries revealed it was a murder allegedly instigated in connection with the land encroachment.  The prime accused, Ranganathan, is among several former DMK MLAs and ministers who have been booked on land-grabbing charges after the AIADMK government took over. Ranganathan was arrested in August 2011 on a similar land-grab charge but released on bail. Subsequently, he was detained under the stringent Goondas Act.  Bhuvaneswaran's father Siva, in his complaint, said Ranganathan could be behind the killing. Siva, who worked as a ticket examiner in the State Express Transport Corporation, was given power of attorney by a friend, Madhavan, for a 30-acre property in Morea village in Veerapuram near Avadi. Siva said he took voluntary retirement from SETC to look after the property. He later sold 20 of the 30 acres and gave a share of the profits to Madhavan. Later, Madhavan gave the remaining 10 acres to Siva as a gift.  Siva said a group of people allegedly backed by Ranganathan had encroached on 100 acres of land, including 30 acres belonging to him and Madhavan. Bhuvaneswaran had fought a legal case, filed many RTI applications and staged demonstrations to attract the government's attention. He managed to recover more than 18 acres and had filed more RTIs to retrieve the rest, police said.  Kolathur police have registered a murder case and launched a hunt for the accused.
