The recent death of a father-son duo in Tamil Nadu's Sathankulam town near Thoothukudi while in police custody has sparked nationwide outrage against alleged police brutality. P Jeyaraj (58) and his son J Beniks (31) were taken into custody for violating Covid-19 curfew hours. They died four days later, raising serious questions on the conduct of the police and demands for justice. According to legal experts, circumstances will be key for the prosecution, while for the defence, witnesses will matter in determining how the case plays out in court.
