Chennai: Youth killed for forcing another man to have sex with him, say police

After analysing CCTV visuals, the police identified the deceased as Kumar. His parents, who had lodged a man-missing complaint in the nearby station, identified the body as Kumar. A forensic team confirmed it was Kumar after his DNA samples matched with those of his parents and sister, the police said.

In one of the CCTV visuals, the police spotted Kumar alongside a person near a public toilet. They distributed the image of the person in the nearby areas. Based on a tip-off, the police said, they managed to arrest Bahadur.

Bahadur and Kumar were known to each other, according to the police, who added that the murder took place allegedly after the duo got into an argument over sex after work and that a knife that latter had snatched from his victim was used in the crime.

The case, initially booked under Section 174 (unnatural death) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, was later altered to one under Indian Penal Code Section 302 (murder). Bahadur was remanded in judicial custody.
