The world came together to seek justice for the death of George Floyd due to police brutality. But now, India has witnessed the same kind of incident in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu, where a father-son duo had allegedly been killed in custody by Sathankulam police. The incident left the people extremly angry on social media.

On June 19, P Jeyaraj (59) and his son Fenix (31) were taken to the custody for questioning by the cops in Sathankulam police for violating lockdown rules. The police said that the father and son kept their mobile shop open during the lockdown. While interrogation, they were allegedly beaten to death by the police. Fenix died at the Kovilpatti General Hospital on June 22, while his father passed away on June 23.

After the news broke, people from Tamil Nadu condemned the brutality of the police and demanded justice for the family. Along with commoners, many celebs like Jayam Ravi, Khushbu, Akshara Gowda and others seek justice for Jeyaraj and Fenix.
