Raga News Zone | Madurai
What was initially believed to be a tragic death caused by a fire at an LIC building in Madurai has taken a dramatic turn, with police now confirming that the woman was murdered by her colleague and the blaze was allegedly set to cover up the crime.
The incident came to light after a fire broke out at the LIC office premises, where the woman’s body was later recovered. At first, authorities suspected that she had died due to suffocation or burn injuries. However, doubts arose after forensic experts and post-mortem reports indicated injuries that were not consistent with death caused by fire.
Following a detailed investigation, police concluded that the victim had been killed before the fire was started. Officials allege that a colleague was responsible for the murder and later set the building on fire in an attempt to destroy evidence and mislead investigators.
During questioning, police reportedly found contradictions in the suspect’s statements, along with supporting technical and forensic evidence that strengthened their case. The accused has been taken into custody, and further interrogation is underway to establish the motive behind the killing.
The revelation has shocked local residents and employees, as the case was initially treated as an accidental workplace tragedy. Authorities are now examining whether there were prior disputes or personal issues between the victim and the accused.
Police officials have stated that the investigation is ongoing and that strict legal action will be taken against all those involved. The accused is expected to be produced before a court as per procedure, while more details are likely to emerge as the probe continues.
