Fought during road trip

According to the police, the 28-year-old, who had completed MBBS from a private college last year, was working as a doctor in Kancheepuram.

He was in a relationship with a student, who was his junior in college for nearly two years.

On Thursday, the duo drove around Kancheepuram in Kavin’s car.

Argument turns ugly

During the trip, they stopped the car near Rajakulam village and the couple started arguing over something.

According to some eyewitnesses, Kavin then got out of his car, collected fuel from the vehicle’s tank in an empty bottle, and poured it all over.

Even as his girlfriend tried to stop him, Kavin set fire to the Mercedes-Benz CLA 200 D.
