Youth Wanted in Assault and Murder Cases Arrested in Veeravanallur

In a significant development from Tirunelveli district, law enforcement authorities arrested a man who had gone into hiding after securing bail in a serious criminal case. The accused, Velthurai alias Parthiban, aged 28, hailing from Veeravanallur, was involved in multiple charges, including assault and murder.

🧾 Background of the Case

Back in 2017, Parthiban was arrested for his alleged involvement in a brutal assault and a murder case that took place in the Veeravanallur area. Following his arrest, he was granted bail and was expected to regularly appear in court for hearings related to his case.

However, for the past 2.5 months, Parthiban failed to attend court proceedings, leading the court to issue a non-bailable warrant for his arrest.

👮‍♂️ Police Action and Arrest

The Veeravanallur police, acting on intelligence and under the directive of the court, intensified their search for Parthiban. On June 16, 2025, after locating his whereabouts, the police arrested him and subsequently produced him before the court to face the legal consequences of skipping mandatory court appearances.

This arrest underscores the seriousness with which the judicial system and law enforcement agencies handle non-compliance with court orders, especially in cases involving grave criminal offenses.

⚖️ Legal Consequences of Skipping Court Hearings

Failing to appear in court, especially in cases involving violent crimes, can lead to:

• Issuance of non-bailable warrants

• Immediate arrest and custody

• Negative impact on any future bail or parole

• Extension or intensification of trial proceedings

✅ Key Takeaway

This incident serves as a reminder that evading the law is never a sustainable option. Courts and police are increasingly strict about non-compliance, and timely legal accountability remains essential to a fair and functional justice system.
