Judge G Muthukumaran of the First Additional District and Sessions Court said the sentence would be pronounced on March 30. The CBI, which took over the case in 2020, charged 10 policemen. The CBI said the father and son were then made to clean the blood from their own wounds. The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court took suo motu cognisance of the case on June 24, 2020. However, a woman head constable later told the court that the father and son had been tortured through the night.
