I am residing at the above said address with my husband Murugan, Children<br />

Hemalatha (married), Kumutha(13 yrs and studying in 8 th standard). We belong to Vanniar<br />

community. We live in a rental house. There is no agriculture land for us. My husband was<br />

going to painting work, mason work and agriculture coolie work.<br />

On Monday, my husband and Sasikumar who was residing near our house told to my<br />

daughter Kumtha that they go to a painting job. I went to agriculture coolie work. My<br />

husband did not return from the job till 7 p.m. So we contacted him in his cell phone but it<br />

was switched off.<br />

The next day morning (07.04.2015), there was the news in the television channels<br />

about the encounter of 20 red sander wood cutters in Andra Pradesh who went from Tamil<br />

Nadu. They showed dead bodies and some red sander woods. Since there was no person<br />

in our village go as wood cutters we did not take it into consideration.<br />
