A former councillor of the AIADMK was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly abetting the suicide of a woman in Kancheepuram.

The woman had fallen in love with Sriharan who had promised to marry her. Later, he refused to marry her and informed his relatives and the former councillor, identified as Kannan, to settle the issue. Kannan had gone to her house on March 11, abused her and asked her to stay away from Sriharan, following which the woman ended her life on Tuesday.

Her family members alleged that the woman committed suicide because of Kannan’s abuse. He allegedly named her caste and said she was not fit to marry Sriharan. Kannan and Sriharan belonged to the same caste.

Police said Sriharan, a resident of Varadharaja Perumal Koil Mada Street in Kancheepuram, is employed at a private agency in Kancheepuram. The duo had been dating for the past two years. They broke up after Sriharan refused to marry her.

The girl’s father, Adi Kesavan, of Singaperumal Koil Street in Kancheepuram, filed a complaint with the Vishnu Kanchi police. Kannan was produced before a magistrate court in Kancheepuram and was sent to prison.
