An unique sub-inspector, one of the 10 authorities workers jailed in connection with the alleged custodial abuse and subsequent death of a father-son duo, and going through treatment for Covid-19, passed away here on Monday, police said.
SSI Pauldurai (56) breathed his last at the Federal government Rajaji Hospital (GRH) here early today.
He was among the 10 cops apprehended in connection with the supposed custodial abuse of P Jeyaraj and his kid Bennicks at the Sathankulam authorities station in Tuticorin district in June, prior to their death in a government health center, an incident that triggered a nationwide outrage.
The deceased SSI was earlier lodged at the main prison here and admitted to the GRH after he tested positive for the coronavirus last month.
Earlier, his other half had petitioned the city police top brass, seeking authorization to shift her hubby to Kanyakumari for medical attention.
The Central Bureau of Examination (CBI) is presently pursuing the case after the Tamil Nadu federal government handed over the probe to the premier agency from the state’s CB-CID following the outrage over the traders’ death.
