Training held for Tuticorin police personnel on public relations
Tuticorin (TN): A training program on public relations was held here on Saturday for police Sub- Inspectors in the district in the backdrop of the outrage over the alleged custodial torture that led to the deaths of a father-son duo.
The program, chaired by Deputy Inspector General of Police Praveen Kumar and other senior district police officials, also heard the grievances of SIs, police said here.
The police personnel were sensitized about the Supreme Court directions governing arrests and handling the accused persons.
They were also taken through the norms of maintaining records in police stations.
The initiative assumes significance in the wake of the deaths of businessmen Jeyaraj and his son Bennicks recently following alleged torture in the Sathankulam police station.
They were arrested on June 19 for alleged violation of prohibitory orders. Bennicks died on June 22 and Jeyaraj the next day at a hospital.
The deaths due to alleged police brutality led to nationwide outrage.
While a CBI probe has been ordered by the government, the Madras High Court had directed the CB-CID to handle the case till such time the central agency stepped in.
So far, five police personnel, including an inspector, have been arrested in the case.
