  "account": "A Communist Party of India (Marxist) statement has called for strict action following the tragic deaths of an Irular tribal woman, Thenmozhi, and her newborn in Kancheepuram district. The couple, Ananthan and Thenmozhi, had borrowed ₹20,000 from a firewood merchant named Arumugam for work, only for Arumugam to deny them permission to go to the hospital for delivery when Thenmozhi went into labor on September 9. The mother and baby both died due to excessive bleeding. The CPI(M) has demanded a full investigation into the incident, urging the registration of cases under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act against all responsible parties, including Arumugam, and for appropriate compensation to be provided to Thenmozhi's family.",
