Tamil Nadu Horror: The Heartbreaking Case of a 10-Year-Old in Coimbatore

In May 2026, a 10-year-old girl in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, was kidnapped by her neighbor, K. Karthi, who lured her with chocolates, took her to an isolated area, sexually assaulted her, and brutally murdered her. Acting swiftly with the help of over 250 CCTV footages, the police arrested the main accused and his accomplice. During the arrest, Karthi attempted to flee by jumping from a roof, resulting in a broken arm and leg. The accused is currently in judicial custody, where he was recently attacked by enraged fellow inmates. Following his successful identification by eyewitnesses before a court magistrate, the police are now preparing to file a charge sheet within 30 days to ensure he receives the strictest possible punishment.
