His younger brother, B Sastha Indhusekaran, is working as a sub-inspector of police. The two siblings run a trust to offer education to poor students. They plan to register the trust soon.
"Narikuravar community people are wanderers, and many of them don't bother to provide education to their children. My younger brother and I admitted six kuravar community students in a government school at Kangeyam in Tirupur district with the help some people and revenue department officials. The kuravar community children should not turn into children in conflict with law. My brother is arranging a permanent shelter for the students’ family in Kangeyam," said Sastha.
