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.
