Click to play videoChennai: The Madurai High Court on Thursday has issued contempt notice to Ministry of External Affairs for failing to bring the body of a 22-year-old suspected to have been murdered in Malaysia.
Suseendran Sethuraja, a biscuit factory worker, died in January 2007 in Malaysia but his body has been lying in a morgue in Kuala Lumpur since. His family is crying foul. They say Suseendran was in love with the factory owner’s daughter paid for it with his life.
"When he spoke to us over the phone before his death, he told us her father had threatened to kill him. So he had changed jobs. But they still killed him!" says his brother Satyendran.
Despite repeated pleas, MEA – whose help Suseedaran's parents asked for to his body back – has done nothing about the matter. Exasperated, the family went to the high court and in September, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court directed the Government to bring Suseendran's body within three weeks.
But when there was no reaction, the court has now slapped a contempt notice on the Ministry.
"We got to know about this only through the newspapers! We don't even care if the culprits get away scot-free. We only want our boy back - look at him for one last time before we cremate him,” says Satyendran,
The Tamil Nadu government is now scrambling to bring Suseendran's body back to his family.
