The custodial death of P. Jayaraj and his son Bennix remains one of the most horrific examples of police brutality in Indian history. In June 2020, the father and son were detained in Sathankulam, Tamil Nadu, with the cops claiming they broke lockdown curfew. But what followed inside the police station was hours of documented torture and assault that shocked the conscience of the nation.
After a 6-year legal battle led by the CBI, justice has finally been served. A Madurai court has classified this as a rarest of rare case, sentencing the 9 policemen involved, to death. This landmark verdict sends a definitive message to those in power: a uniform is a responsibility to protect, not a license to oppress.
Watch the full video to understand the details of the brutality and why this verdict is a turning point for human rights in India.
