The State Human Rights Commission on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, recommended that the Tamil Nadu government pay a compensation of ₹25,000 to a man, whose complaint alleged that he was hit by a sub inspector of police in connection with a case.
SHRC member V. Kannadasan also recommended that the sum be recovered from Sub-Inspector of Police E. Sivakumar (formerly attached to Thirukkurungudi police station in Tirunelveli district). The Commission also advised the policeman not to indulge in any such inhuman activities in future.
Complainant R. Franklin Balasingh of Nanguneri taluk in Tirunelveli district had previous enmity with a man named Kosal and his father Shanmugasundaram, over the excavation of sand from a pond.
