As on Saturday, October 1, 2011, Tamil Nadu witnessed 8 custodial deaths since AIADMK Government ascended to power on May 16, 2011. The aged parents of K.Muthu were seen grieving outside the mortuary of the General Hospital where they had to pick up the body of their only son who died in police custody at Virugambakkam. It was a sight that can hardly be forgetten. It seems everything is lost for the parents. K.Muthu from Cuddalore with Kollywood's dream came to Chennai to die in the hands of Police after being chased and nabbed by them on the allegation that he alongwith one Hameed had stolen 25 sovereign of gold and Rs.12,000/- cash from a City Hotel.
“Police excesses have become rampant in TN. Unless the Police personnel in uniform are tried for murder, they will not change. (P,Pugalenthi, Advocate)
“Muthu fled his home when he was 17 years old, to become an actor. Failure, distress and poverty drove the youngster to petty crime. Police said Muthu and Sahul Hameed used to enter hotels and steal valuables from guests.”
“Muthu fled his home when he was 17 years old, to become an actor. Failure, distress and poverty drove the youngster to petty crime. Police said Muthu and Sahul Hameed used to enter hotels and steal valuables from guests.”
Let the police be human in their approach. Let them not create criminals by their actions and ruin the life of some elderly couples as it happened in this case.
