After
#blacklivesmatter,
the
world
has
yet
again
united
against
the
Santhankulam
custodial
murder
case.
The
case
took
a
major
turn
as
soon
as
singer
Suchitra
took
to
her
social
media
handle
to
condemn
the
attack
and
explain
the
incident
that
eventually
shook
the
entire
world
in
English.
Following
her,
several
celebrities
took
to
their
respective
social
media
handles
demanding
justice
for
Jayaraj
and
Fenix.
The
latest
to
join
the
bandwagon
was
Rajinikanth,
who
condemned
the
custodial
deaths
of
the
father-son
duo
and
tweeted
that
he
was
shocked
beyond
belief
and
demanded
that
the
guilty
be
punished
and
should
not
be
spared.

Well,
looks
like
Suchitra
who
spearheaded
the
campaign
has
been
irked
with
the
veteran
actor's
late
response,
as
she
took
a
dig
at
him.
She
asked
netizens
to
take
note
of
people
who
are
getting
angry
so
late,
after
almost
a
week
since
the
issue
surfaced.
She
tweeted,
"Friends,
Inime
yaarukellaam
evlo
late
aa
kovam
varudhu
nnu
oru

Veteran
actor
(angry
face)
-
1
week.
Guys
pls
keep
count",
which
is
loosely
translates
to
"Friends,
can
you
please
keep
a
count
on
people
who
are
getting
angry
very
late?
Veteran
actor
(angry
face)-
1
week."
Apparently,
the
celebrated
singer
was
upset
with
Rajinikanth's
late
response
to
the
serious
issue.
It
is
to
be
noted,
that
the
veteran
actor
has
been
trolled
by
the
netizens
too
following
his
late
statement.
Earlier,
Thalaiva
had
spoken
to
Jayaraj
and
Fenix's
family
over
a
phone
call
and
offered
his
heartfelt
condolences
to
the
family.
For
the
uninitiated,
Jayaraj
and
Fenix
died
when
in
Santhankulam
police
custody,
after
being
physically
tortured
and
abused
by
the
police.
The
father-son
duo
who
ran
a
mobile
shop
in
Sathankulam
were
arrested
allegedly
for
keeping
their
shop
open
past
the
permitted
hours
owing
to
the
COVID-19
lockdown.
The
duo
succumbed
to
injuries
in
a
hospital
where
they
were
taken
after
their
health
deteriorated.
Fenix
breathed
his
last
on
June
22,
while
Jayaraj
died
on
June
23.
In
a
major
development,
5
police
officers
have
been
arrested
so
far
and
the
case
has
been
pushed
to
CBI.
