The CB-CID police, investigating the alleged custodial torture of suspects by suspended Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Balveer Singh, have registered one more case against him and his sub-ordinates of the Kallidaikurichi police station.
Based on a complaint lodged by by Surya of Zamin Singampatti, the CB-CID Police Inspector Ulagarani has registered a first information report (FIR) against Mr. Singh, former Inspector of Kallidaikurichi police station Rajakumari and constables Ramalingam and Joseph, who all have been placed in ‘vacancy reserve’ after these serious charges surfaced in March. It was a video clip by Surya, shared on social media, with details about the custodial torture he underwent at the Kallidaikurichi police station that first led to the investigation.
With this, the investigating agency has registered its fourth case against Mr. Singh under Sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 324 (voluntarily causing hurt with dangerous weapon), 326 (voluntarily causing dangerous hurt with dangerous weapon) and 506 (1) (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.
