Relatives of a 33-year-old autorickshaw driver, who was murdered by his acquaintances on Saturday night (March 7, 2026), laid siege to the Sivaganga Collectorate on Monday, refusing to accept his body in protest against police’s failure to register a case under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. On Saturday night, the victim, Muneeswaran, 33, of Idaikkattur near Manamadurai, and his friends and auto drivers Sathish Kumar, 45, of Anandapuram and Karthikeyan, 36, of Kurunthangulam gathered on the terrace of Sathish Kumar’s house to celebrate his birthday.
