The death of a father-son duo allegedly in police custody in Tamil Nadu’s Tuticorin district has sparked huge outrage on social media.
P Jayaraj and his son Beniks were arrested last Monday (June 22) for keeping their mobile phone shop open beyond permitted hours amid the COVID-19 lockdown.
A couple of days later, they died due to police brutality. Eyewitnesses claim that the cops inserted metal objects into one of the victims' rectum.
