However, human rights activist and executive director of People’s Watch Henri Tiphagne was disappointed with the decision. He said the government was taking a “circuitous” route “only to avoid registration of an FIR” against the IPS officer and others even after a prima facie case was made out in the first report.

Coming in front of reporters for the first time on Wednesday, the teenager whose teeth were pulled out by Ambasamudram ASP Balveer Singh, narrated his tale of horror. He and his brother K Arunkumar (23) spoke about their trauma at a press conference convened by Henry Tiphagane, director of People’s Watch.

TIRUNELVELI: CCTV recordings for March 10, 11, and 12 of Ambasamudram police station, where about 10 suspects including two juveniles were allegedly tortured by suspended ASP Balveer Singh and a few other police personnel, have gone missing due to technical error in the CCTV system.ds

Madurai-based human rights organisation People’s Watch had arranged the press meeting. Henri Tiphange, executive director of the NGO, compared the incident to the Sathankulam custodial case of 2020. P. Jayaraj and Bennicks, a father and son duo, were killed in alleged custodial torture in Sathankulam town in Thoothukudi district leading to massive outrage in the state over police brutality.

People’s Watch, a human rights organisation, and the family of one of the victims of custodial violence case at Tirunelveli’s Ambasamudram police station held a press conference on Wednesday, April 5, demanding FIR against IPS officer Balveer Singh and other police personnels. The Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) of Ambasamudram Balveer Singh has been accused of beating detainees and breaking their teeth using large stones and cutting pliers.

K Arun Kumar, the victim, met the media with his mother Rajeshwari, minor brother, and Henri Tiphange, executive director of Madurai-based NGO People's Watch, and described how brutally he and his brother were tortured by suspended Ambasamudram assistant superintendent of police Balveer Singh.

On March 10, Arun Kumar and several others were taken into custody in connection with a brawl and reportedly subjected to brutal treatment by ASP Singh. Afterwards, Singh allegedly threatened the men, warning them not to speak out about the violence they had experienced.
