Tuticorin: The entire world rose in unison and demanded justice for the death of the black man George Floyd due to police atrocity. Back home, the death of Tuticorin father-son duo allegedly in police custody has caused a mass protest across Tamil Nadu.
P Jayaraj (59) and his son Bennicks (31) were picked up for questioning by the cops June 19 in Sathankulam police for violating lockdown rules. The police said that the duo kept their mobile shop open during the lockdown. The duo was taken in custody and was brutally beaten up resulting in their deaths in consecutive days, June 22 and June 23.
