In
a
turn
of
events,
singer
Suchitra
has
taken
down
her
viral
video
on
the
infamous
Tuticorin
double
custodial
death
that
sparked
several
controversies
around
the
case.
Her
video
with
strong
allegations
against
police
brutality
was
deleted
following
CB-CID's
(Tamil
Nadu
Crime
Branch-
CID)
instructions
to
remove
the
video
from
social
media.
The
Thoothukudi
(Tuticorin)
District
Police
released
the
CB-CID's
notification
yesterday
that
says
her
narration
was
baseless
and
not
truly
indicative
of
the
real
happenings.
The
notice
read,
"Recently,
a
video
posted
by
Ms
Suchitra,
a
south
Indian
cine
singer
describing
the
Santhankulam
incident
is
doing
rounds
in
the
social
media
sites.
Ms
Suchitra's
descriptive
narration
of
the
incident
is
baseless
and
is
not
truly
indicative
of
the
real
happenings."

என்பவரால்
சமீபத்தில்
வெளியிடப்பட்ட
சாத்தான்குளம்
நிகழ்வு
குறித்த
காணொளி
முற்றிலும்
உண்மைதன்மையற்றது.
மேலும்,
இது
போன்ற
காணொளிகளை
வெளியிடுவது
வழக்கின்
புலனாய்வை
பாதிக்கும்
என
சென்னை
உயர்நீதிமன்றம்
வழிகாட்டியுள்ளது.
எனவே
பொதுமக்கள்
இத்தகைய
காணொளிகளை
நம்ப
வேண்டாம்..!

The
notice
further
added
that
the
singer
has
exaggerated
the
events
and
her
allegations
are
completely
imaginary
without
any
proof.
"In
the
video,
she
falsely
exaggerated
and
sensationalized
the
chain
of
events
and
her
allegations
seem
to
be
a
figment
of
imagination
and
is
not
backed
up
by
any
proof.
Investigation
into
the
case
does
not
find
any
substance
in
the
allegation.
The
video
is
promoting
hatred
against
the
police",
it
further
read.
For
the
unversed,
Suchitra
was
among
the
ones
to
raise
voice
against
the
horrifying
custodial
deaths
of
Tuticorin.
The
video
she
posted
on
Twitter
received
support
from
all
corners
of
the
world
eventually
tightening
the
noose
of
the
case.
Jayaraj
and
Fenix
were
arrested
on
June
19,
allegedly
for
keeping
their
shop
open
past
the
permitted
hours,
owing
to
the
COVID-19
lockdown.
Reportedly,
they
were
physically
tortured
and
abused.
The
duo
succumbed
to
injuries
in
a
hospital,
where
they
were
taken
after
their
health
deteriorated.
Fenix
died
on
June
22
while
Jayaraj
breathed
his
last
on
June
23.
