The Cheyur police on Thursday arrested two men on charges of abetting the suicide of a woman near Avinashi in Tiruppur district.
According to the police, Sheeladevi (35) from A. Kurumbapalayam, mortgaged her land measuring 47 cents to Sivaraj (40), a land broker from Tiruppur, in 2017.
Land sold
However, the broker along with his younger brother Kathirvel (35) had allegedly registered the land in his father’s name and sold it for ₹60 lakh.
Having refused to return the land documents, the woman had appealed several times to the district administration to retrieve her land, the police said.
However, she died of suicide on Wednesday.
Following this, the police booked Sivaraj and Kathirvel. They were remanded in judicial custody on Thursday.
