It should be noted that last year tamil Nadu police's brutal torture and revenge act killed the father and son duo and still the case is not yet received a proper judgment. The father P.Jayaraj who owns a mobile shop was tormented by stripping his clothes and he was tortured along with his son and they were beaten to death just because they never locked their shop during the lockdown timings. Jayaraj's daughter Percy is still fighting for justice.
