Madras HC Directs CB-CID to Examine CCTV in Kavin Selvaganesh Honour Killing Case

• The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court ordered CB-CID to examine CCTV footage from the Tirunelveli-Seevalaperi stretch on July 27, 2025.
• The footage is crucial to the alleged honour killing of techie Kavin Selvaganesh, who was from a Scheduled Caste.
• The direction came during petitions by K. Saravanan and K. Jayapal, father and cousin of prime accused Surjith, seeking to quash the CB-CID charge sheet.
• Petitioners argue that the prosecution failed to produce CCTV evidence that would exonerate them, claiming they did not facilitate Surjith's hiding.
• Kavin Selvaganesh was allegedly murdered by Surjith, his girlfriend's brother, for being in a relationship with S. Subhashini, who belongs to an intermediate caste.
