The 100-day vigil: How a custodial death case ended in a state-ordered cremation | India News
Custodial death, torture allegations, and state-ordered cremation raise serious concerns.
Delison's family refused to accept the body from Government Rajaji Hospital in Madurai, alleging he was tortured. A court order directed authorities to transport and cremate the body after a post-mortem revealed multiple injuries consistent with torture. The family demanded the arrest of all 16 police personnel they believe were involved. The government denied any wrongdoing and suspended six officers. A judge ruled that the body could not remain indefinitely in the mortuary, directing officials to follow religious customs and ensure a proper cremation.
