A solatium of ₹10 lakh will be granted to the family of Vignesh, who died in police custody at the Secretariat Colony station here last week, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin announced in the Assembly on Tuesday.
DMK had always been firm in its position that custodial deaths should be thoroughly investigated, Mr. Stalin said and added the human rights of all people would be protected in the State.
Responding to a special call attention motion moved by a few legislators over the incident, Mr. Stalin said that solatium of ₹10 lakh would be provided irrespective of the outcome of the enquiry being conducted into the incident.
