PUCL welcomes Madurai court’s verdict in Sattankulam duo custodial case

People’s Union for Civil Liberties welcomed the Madurai Additional District and Session Court’s verdict in the Sattankulam father and son custodial death case.

The verdict has delivered a great blow to the sense of impunity – being gleefully cherished by the so-called custodians of the law, the statement of the forum stated.

“Besides the verdict has contributed immensely towards the evolution of Anti-torture jurisprudence. It has fixed constitutional and criminal accountability of the culprits in khaki uniform,” it added.
