Leela, the mother of Subash, who was murdered in Tenkasi district in April 2026, has appealed to the Tamil Nadu government to introduce a specific Act to address honour killing crimes. Subash was attacked by a three-member gang after being confronted about his relationship with a girl from a different community. The gang, which included a juvenile, fatally injured him and disposed of his body in an abandoned well. Following the incident, Tenkasi police arrested the attackers and registered a murder case. The NGO Evidence highlighted that 59 honour killings occurred in Tamil Nadu from 2021 to 2025, emphasizing the need for legislative action to deter such crimes. Leela, supported by Evidence’s executive director A. Kathir, is advocating for a compensation of ₹25 lakh for her family, a government job for a family member, and a monthly pension of ₹20,000. They also requested that the police ensure the accused are denied bail.
