Jayaraj (59) and his son Fenix Emmanuel (31) ran a mobile shop in Tuticorin. On June 19, around 8:15 pm Jayaraj was pulled up by the Sathankulam police officials who were on patrol. They upbraided him for exceeding the curfew by 15 minutes. On Saturday, Jayaraj was taken in by the police and soon after his son Fenix was arrested too when he went to enquire about his father’s arrest.

The two of them were booked under Section 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant), 353 (use of force to deter public servant from duty) 269 (negligent act likely to spread infection of disease dangerous to life), and 506(2) (Punishment for criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.

In custody, they were allegedly tortured. They were later released and taken to a hospital where a doctor declared them fit despite eyewitnesses reporting that they beaten up and still bleeding.
Advocate S Manimaran, an eyewitness to the brutality said, “We were standing out and we were seeing the whole incident from outside through a glass gate. Fenix and his father were beaten. In the morning there was blood all over the place where they were sitting.”

He added that Fenix was beaten so brutally, his flesh was ripped off.

He said, “I gave them four clothes to change. We had laid down a blanket in the seat of the car when we went to pick them up, Fenix had lost a lot of flesh on his back. He was a well-built man. The car driver was in tears seeing their state. The spot where Fenix sat was covered with blood, the place where Jayaraj was sitting was also all blood. The blankets are still with us. They were beaten to death.”
Other eyewitnesses have also claimed that Jayaraj and Fenix were bleeding from their rectum and were allegedly sodomised while in prison.

And ofcourse central government is powerless when it comes to helping people of India.

They can ofcourse purchase all the MP’s when they want, because that is different

Earlier that girl died due to cut out, no hope from AIADMK or DMK
Very very sad – lives taken just for trivial violation, why police stations do not have CCTVs

@modiji has been elected with an overwhelming mandate by the Indian people, who have entrusted him with all his visions and ideas.
He is the avatar of Indian consciousness. Thus, criticizing him and his policies are not only unwarranted, but is an unforgivable offence; and should be considered an attack on Bharatiya asmita. People like this bhatt should pay for the damage they have done to the nation, pretending as the savior of children of mughals. Regarding, singh, you have no idea about how intelligence officers work to safeguard the nation, risking everything. Don’t taint their efforts.

@ Praaashaant,
you people are the real superheores of tomorrow, the torch-bearers of future. You know how to peep through the dense mists of propaganda and lead the nation to its ultimate goal of establishing the akhand aryavart, free from all impure cultures, ideas and societies… You should be confident of becoming caretakers of the rashtra. If the nation takes a dangerous decision, in terms of electing bad leaders, you should be prepared correct intervene and restore the nation in the hands of righteous people.
