Tuticorin custodial deaths News
A CBI spokesperson said the agency filed the chargesheet against 9 police officials, all from Sathankulam Police Station in Tamil Nadu.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday took over the investigation into the Tuticorin custodial deaths case and registered two FIRs after getting clearance from the Tamil Nadu government and the Centre in this regard.
A three-page inquiry report submitted to the Madras High Court has revealed that the cops were lax in their response and even verbally abused the Magistrate while he was at the police station for the investigation into the case.
A division bench of justices, based on the preliminary postmortem report which notes evidence of wounds and judicial inquirer's findings, also observed that there are sufficient grounds for the registration of a case against police officials in the matter.
