New Delhi, February 10: The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has expressed its dissatisfaction with the Tamil Nadu government’s response regarding a brutal attack on a migrant worker from Odisha in Tiruttani. The NHRC has sought clarification from the state government, citing delays in filing an FIR and the mysterious disappearance of the injured youth from the hospital as serious negligence.
The incident occurred in December 2025 near the Tiruttani railway station in Tiruvallur district. Reports indicate that four 17-year-old boys, under the influence of drugs, attacked a young man from Odisha with a sharp weapon (sickle). The victim was severely injured and later identified as 20-year-old K. Suraj from Odisha.
Following the attack, Suraj was admitted to the hospital, where his statement was recorded on the same day, December 27, 2025. However, the police only registered the FIR the next day, December 28. NHRC member Priyank Kanungo stated that the FIR was filed under pressure from social media, raising questions about law and order.
Most shockingly, Suraj, despite his severe injuries, left the hospital during treatment and has since been untraceable. In its response to the NHRC, the Tamil Nadu government stated that the victim left the hospital in a wounded state, and they currently have no information about him.
In response, NHRC member Priyank Kanungo condemned the entire situation as a peak of governmental negligence. He noted on the social media platform ‘X’ that the state government has neither located the victim nor made any effort to reach out to his family.
Kanungo emphasized that the administration’s lack of serious attempts to find the injured individual after his sudden disappearance is extremely concerning. In light of this, the NHRC has issued a notice to the Chief Secretary of Tamil Nadu.
The commission has directed the state government to ensure the victim is located and treated, clarify why he has not been compensated with ₹2 lakh, and provide a full account of any actions taken against police and administrative negligence.
The NHRC asserts that this case is not merely about crime but represents a severe violation of human rights. The commission has indicated that if a satisfactory response is not received, stricter actions may follow.
