The Madras High Court on Thursday directed the inspector general (IG) of police, central zone, to conduct an inquiry into an allegation of custodial torture of a BJP functionary by a sub-inspector 15 years ago.
Justice V Bharathidasan, who disposed of the petition from G Tamilazhagan of Ariyalur Taluk, Perambalur district, seeking to initiate appropriate disciplinary action against an SI, said in his order that "the materials available on record prima facie show that the petitioner was subjected to custodial violence."
