**Indian Army Jawan Seeks Urgent Help for Family Assault Case**
An Indian Army soldier stationed at the Indo-Bhutan border has urgently called for intervention from the Tamil Nadu government regarding a violent incident involving his family. Murali Jegan, originally from Mudhukulathur, reported that his wife, Uma Rani, and mother, Muthumeena, were attacked by a group of six men in Ramanathapuram district. Jegan has reached out to the District Superintendent of Police and Chief Minister MK Stalin, urging immediate action.
Having joined the Army in 2020, Jegan built a house in the Enathi area of Thanjavur district in 2016. Recently, his wife and mother approached local officials in Kadaladi village, alleging that Jegan’s uncle, Ramachandran, was attempting to unlawfully seize their property. Following this confrontation, on May 7, Uma Rani and Muthumeena were reportedly assaulted by individuals associated with Ramachandran, resulting in their hospitalization.
While a case has been filed against four of the attackers, a counter-complaint has led to charges against Uma Rani and Muthumeena as well. Uma Rani expressed frustration, stating, “We filed a case against six people, but an FIR has not been filed against two of those who attacked and threatened us.”
From his post on the Bhutan border, Jegan expressed concern that his uncle’s influence is hindering proper legal proceedings. “I’m currently stationed at the Bhutan border and cannot return due to the situation. After receiving threats from my uncle’s son, my mother filed a complaint with Kadaladi Police Station, but no action has been taken,” he shared in a heartfelt plea.
He described the brutal attack on his family, stating, “Ramachandran, his wife Keladi, and three others have viciously assaulted my wife and mother. They are both in the hospital. I am devastated. There is evidence of this attack. If no action is taken, I am at a loss for what to do. My officer has even contacted the Sub-Inspector, but there has been no adequate response. I am unable to take leave, so I am seeking your assistance.”
Since the incident on May 7, Jegan has been deeply anxious and has implored Chief Minister MK Stalin to step in and ensure justice for his family.
