The ongoing probe by the CB-CID into the alleged custodial torture by suspended Assistant Superintendent of Police Balveer Singh and others in Ambasamudram police sub-division in the district should be probed or at least monitored by a police officer in the rank of Inspector General of Police or Deputy Inspector General of Police since the prime accused is an Indian Police Service officer, one of the victims has demanded.

Speaking to TNIE, Executive Director of People's Watch Henry Tiphagne, who is assisting the victims said the denial of the copy of FIR to the SC complainant is a violation of 15 A (9) of the SC/ST (PoA) Act. "The police department and the inquiry officers appointed by the state government to probe into the Ambasamudram custodial torture case has not been transparent since the beginning," he alleged.
