  "summary": "The family of Akash Delison, a youth who allegedly died in police custody in Sivaganga district, attempted to approach Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay's convoy on Thursday, September 3, 2026. The convoy was traveling from Vijay's Neelankarai residence to the Secretariat when over 100 people gathered near the entrance of Fort St. George to meet the Chief Minister. Rajesh Kannan, 50, and his wife Anandhi, 43, were among the protesters, along with relatives of Akash Delison. The family alleged that despite a case being registered against six police personnel, no action had been taken, and they sought a CB-CID probe. As the group crossed the barricades and entered the road, security personnel intervened, with a constable sustaining a minor injury while trying to stop them. Kannan allegedly breached the barricade and ran towards the convoy, punching constable Ramkumar in the chest when he attempted to stop him. The convoy reached the Secretariat portico at 10.02 a.m., and police detained eight individuals, including Kannan and Anandhi, for questioning in connection with the security breach.",
