Nallakattipalayam village, which is under the A. Periyapalayam Gram Panchayat, is in Avinashi Taluk, Tiruppur District. In the village dominant caste hindu Nayakkars practices untouchability and caste discrimination against Dalits. Most of the dalits are engaged as daily wage farm labourers in the agricultural lands of Nayakkars. M. Loganathan (49), resident of Nallakattipalayam, belongs to Dalit Arunthathiyar community. For the last 12 years he has been Tank Operator in the Nallakattipalayam village, without any official recognition. As per the gram Panchayat agreement, he was paid meager salary for the work. During the Panchayat Presidentship of Ms. Vasanthi, a petition was filed with the District Magistrate to appoint Loganathan as the Tank Operator in the Village Panchayat. But the negligent district administration largely ignored this petition. On 31/08/09, during the Greivance Redressal Meeting organized by the District Administration, Loganathan again gave a petition seeking to appoint him as the Tank Operator in their village.

During the evening, as usual when he went to the Nayakkar neighbourhood to check the water supply, one Rangasamy Nayakkar (48), who could not tolerate the assertion of Loganathan seeking the appointment of Tank Operator, told him that hence forth you should not look after the water supply and we will appoint one from our own community. In return Loganathan asked, “Lord! how you are telling like this?. Intolerant and infuriated Rangasamy abused him saying, “Sakkili son of prostitute, how dare you question me”. Having abused him, Rangasamy slapped him repeatedly and hit him in his chest. On seeing the Panchayat Vice president Palanisamy, Loganathan cried for help. Palanisamy, instead of helping him, joined with Rangasamy, and pushed him down. Both the perpetrators brutally assaulted Loganathan. When Loganathan escaping from the assault, left his bi-cycle and torch light, reported this assault to Palanisamy’s friend Allimuthu and then he reported this through phone to Panchayat President Mr Rathnasamy. But Rathnasmay having no ear for the assault and told that we will discuss about this tomorrow.

Loganathan hesitated to report this atrocity to police fearing that the caste hindus might prevent him from getting appointed as the tank operator. As he was unable to bear the pain, with the help of his son, around 12 am, went to the Tiruppur Government Hospital for medical treatment by arranging a private call taxi. But the Staffs of the hospital, denied to admit him and asked him to report this to the police in the first place and then to come to the hospital. Hence bearing the pain, around 2 am Loganathan went to the Uthukuli Police Station to file a complaint. On reaching the police station around 4am, after listening to the atrocity as narrated by Loganathan, Head Constable Pachaiappan called up the perpetrators to come to the police station. Police Pachaippan asked Loganathan to come to the police station in the morning with a written complaint. At around 9am Sub Inspector arrived and received the complaint and gave a medical memo to gain admission in the Tiruppur Government Hospital. He received medical treatment for the next five days. The police have arrested Rangasamy and Palanisamy and detained them in the Coimbatore Central Jail.

Later the victim compromised with the perpetrators and choose to struck peace with them.
