A court today declined to grant bail to the in-laws of Dalit youth Shankar who was brutally murdered in a suspected case of honour killing at Udumalpet last month.
After hearing the arguments by public prosecutor K M Subramaniam against the bail petitions of the parents of Kausalya, the 19-year-old widow of Shankar, Tirupur Principal District Court Judge Alamelu Natarajan rejected it.
Chinnasamy and Annalakshmi, parents of Kausalya, had filed their bail petitions in the court recently.
While Chinnasamy had surrendered on March 14, Annalakshmi turned herself in before a court in Theni a couple of days ago.
While waiting at the Udumalpet bus-stand in Tirupur district, Shankar and Kausalya were attacked by a gang with sickles in full public view on March 13, resulting in the former's death.
