Madasamy performs last rites of Dinesh
Will his son’s suicide reform Madasamy? Dinesh Nallasivan killed himself by hanging from a rail overbridge on Wednesday, and in his suicide note, had cited his father Madasamy’s alcoholism as the reason for his tragic decision. The police also recovered a hall ticket for National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) from Dinesh’s body.
Dinesh, his younger brother and sister, had almost been abandoned by his alcoholic father. Now, the repentant father is said to have “promised” to give up drinking.
Though Dinesh had left instructions asking his father not to perform the last rites for him, Mr. Madasamy defied it. “Since my father has promised to give up liquor, he performed the last rites and tonsured his head. He made this promise to us,” informed Balachandran, Dinesh’s younger brother. Mr. Madasamy did not answer calls.
Meanwhile, a group of Congress functionaries submitted a petition in the Collector’s office here on Thursday seeking compensation to the kin of Dinesh.
In the petition, the Congress functionaries said with the death of Dinesh, the children had lost their only support.
