Hours before his murder, Ramalingam was seen arguing with a group of Muslims in some videos that went viral on social media. According to reports, Ramalingam protested against some Muslims who were allegedly planning to conduct religious conversions in a Dalit dominated village.
Till now, around five people including a Popular Front of India (PFI) functionary have been arrested in relation to the murder of Ramalingam.
Meanwhile, another twitter user has shared a collection of Ramalingam’s Facebook posts. From his views and posts, it becomes clear that he was a kind of person who respected all faiths and religions.
