Singer
Suchitra's
recent
speech
condemning
the
brutal
custodial
deaths
of
Jayaraj
and
Fenix
was
highly
appreciated
by
the
netizens
across
the
world.
Her
video
explaining
in
graphic
details
about
the
Santhakulam
incident
became
the
talk
of
the
town
and
went
viral
within
minutes.
Well
now,
the
singer
has
yet
again
taken
to
social
media
claiming
that
she
has
been
offered
Rs
2
crore
to
promote
a
video
showing
police
brutality.
She
added
that
she
is
unable
to
sleep
since
she
watched
the
video
of
the
brutality,
and
asked
people
to
keep
the
focus
on
the
double
custodial
death
of
the
father-son
duo.
She
tweeted,
"Been
offered
2C
to
put
up
a
video
highlighting
police
atrocities
in
an
earlier
regime
(when
the
opposition
was
in
power)
and
lost
sleep
ever
since.
This
is
the
lowest
I've
seen
humanity
dip.
But
not
lower
than
the
#sathankulam
incident.
Keep
the
focus
#JusticeforJayarajAndFenix."

In
yet
another
tweet
Suchitra
revealed
that
the
offer
was
made
by
an
influential
Kollywood
celebrity,
who
appears
to
be
her
family
friend.
She
wrote,
"Sad
part-
It
was
a
family
friend
(highly
influential
Kollywood
celeb)
who
made
this
call
to
me.
Smarten
up
guys,
be
even
more
determined
no
to
give
up
now.
#jusitceforjayarajandfenix."

arresting
allegedly
for
keeping
their
shop
open
past

lockdown.
Reportedly
they
were
physically
tortured
and
abused.

deteriorated.

died
on

22,
while

breathed
his
last
on
June
23.
