The mother of B. Ajith Kumar, a temporary temple security guard who died after alleged custodial torture, is demanding the immediate arrest of the woman who accused him of theft. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) confirmed Ajith Kumar’s innocence, bringing some justice to the family. B. Malathy emphasized the need to hold accountable those responsible for falsely accusing her son.
Malathy specifically called for the arrest of Nikitha, the woman who filed the theft complaint leading to Ajith Kumar’s detention. She expressed anguish over her son’s treatment, stating that he was innocent yet faced a tragic fate. The case, dating back to June 27, 2025, involved Nikitha alleging missing gold jewellery and Ajith Kumar being picked up for questioning.
The family’s legal counsel mentioned that the CBI, as directed by Justice Srimathi, is expected to provide a detailed status report by February 17. A 90-page chargesheet prepared by the agency reportedly confirms Ajith’s innocence and scrutinizes the involvement of police officials and the complainant. Allegations have surfaced that the theft complaint was a pre-planned scheme aimed at extorting jewellery.
Four other individuals were also reportedly detained and subjected to assault in connection with the case. The family has urged the government to support Ajith’s brother with employment and ensure a safe rehabilitation process. Legal proceedings are underway against six police personnel, including a driver, involved in the incident.
