Thread: The report submitted by the Judicial Magistrate to MHC regarding the Tuticorin custodial case is damning.

- CCTV footage at Sathankulam PS got erased as the settings automatically deletes the footage after 24 hours. This despite the system having 1TB storage space.
- A woman constable at the PS has turned witness. Other cops tried to hinder the process of recording her statement.

- She said that Jayaraj & Bennix were beaten up all night with lathis.

- She also said there were blood stains on lathis & on the table.
Woman constable agreed to sign the statement after JM assured her proper security.

When the JM asked the cops to produce lathis, they pretended as if they did not hear what he said. They tried to subvert. One cop escaped the station and ran away by jumping the wall.

#Policebrutality and impunity in India: TW
P Jayaraj & his son Bennix were arrested for violating #lockdown rules. They were brutally tortured & killed in police custody. The details of their torture are horrifying.
This was followed by FIR cover up, doctor's deliberate suppression of health condition, and magistrate B Saravanan's remand orders without physically seeing the Jayaraj and Fenix.
"More than 1,000 people of Sathankulam town in Tamil Nadu’s Thoothukudi district...all trade union bodies, various political outfits, activists, and the local public staged protests in various parts of the town."

When we talk of police brutality, the SC-appointed 3-member Commission in Hyderabad encounter was supposed to submit its report by 12 June.

Did any media outlet follow up?

4 men were shot dead in cold blood. The actual rapists are still probably roaming free.

We’ll never know.
Since 2017, there have been 5000 police “encounters” in UP.

That’s an average of 5 police “encounters” PER DAY.

Are we to assume that these were ALL shootings in “self-defense”?

Not a single cop has been held accountable.

This is the state of police brutality in India.
The Tuticorin police could torture & murder Jayaraj and Bennix with impunity because they KNOW they’ll get away with it.

As a nation, we’ve gotten desensitized to police brutality & killings.

Justice never happens because we don’t demand it.
