Sathankulam Case Verdict: 9 Police Get Death Sentence | Justice After 6 Years

Do you remember the Sathankulam custodial killing?

During the lockdown, a father and son —
Jayaraj and Bennix —
were picked up by police for allegedly keeping their shop open.

What followed…

was brutal.

They were tortured overnight in custody.
They didn’t survive.

Now, after nearly 6 years…

A court in Madurai has delivered a sensational verdict.

9 police personnel have been sentenced to death.
Along with heavy fines exceeding ₹1 crore.

The judge made one powerful observation:

If ordinary citizens commit a crime, punishment is one thing…
But when those meant to protect become perpetrators,
the crime is far more serious.

And that’s the core issue.

Power without accountability becomes abuse.

Custody is meant to ensure safety —
not become a place of torture.

This verdict sends a strong message:

No one is above the law.
Not even the police.

Justice may be delayed…
but it must never be denied.

Think about it.
