Mother of Sreejith, who died in police custody, today alleged that she was not allowed to give him water, when he cried for it in pain due to torture at the police station in Varappuzha near here.
Shyamala, Sreejith's mother, said she had gone to meet her son at the police station on Saturday morning, a day after he was taken into custody in connection with the death of a 55-year-old man.
She said she was not allowed to meet Sreejith, but saw him sitting in the corner of the police station covering his stomach with severe pain.
Talking to Malayalam news channels, Shyamala said policemen did not even allow her to meet her son when he cried calling her "Amma" (mother).
"When the police took him to a hospital from the station, I ran after them crying. He (Sreejith) just said he was being taken to the hospital as he had severe pain in his abdomen," she said.
Shyamala said she waited there till they returned from the hospital.
"I asked the police what happened to him. A policeman said he vomited as he did not have food and told me to give some water."
