**MLA Hunted in Caste-Based Abduction Case in Tamil Nadu**

**CHENNAI, India – June 28, 2025 -** Special police teams are searching for KV Kuppam MLA and Puratchi Bharatham Katchi leader, Mr. Moorthy, in connection with the alleged abduction of a teenager in Thiruvalangadu, Tiruvallur district. The abduction is believed to be an attempt to separate an inter-caste couple.

The Madras High Court denied Mr. Moorthy anticipatory bail on Friday, citing prima facie evidence linking him to the crime. The case involves the June 7th abduction of a teenager from his home by five unidentified individuals. The boy was later abandoned near a bus stand.

Preliminary investigations have also implicated H.M. Jayaram, a suspended ADGP-rank IPS officer, in the abduction. The case is currently under investigation by the CB CID.

Mr. Moorthy has appealed to the Supreme Court for anticipatory bail. The investigation continues as authorities work to apprehend Mr. Moorthy and bring those involved to justice.
