#JusticeforJayarajAndBennicks
- on june 19th, jeyaraj, a 58 year old man was picked up by the police for apparently talking back. when his son, bennicks (30)

went to the police station to ask why has he been picked up - he was also arrested. later - the police said that both of them have been picked up for having their shop open despite having lockdown restrictions. eyewitnesses account says - that both of them were beat up inside

the police station. they locked the doors and didn’t let any of the family + friends come inside. their advocate said that they had been bleeding so much that they had to change clothes six times. they were not given bail, instead they were taken into a jail that was a 1000 kms

away from their town - where the violence continued. not only this - there have been allegations of police shoving a stick up in bennicks’ rectum.

on june 22nd and june 23rd respectively, bennicks and jeyaraj passed away. they are trying to tell us that the cause of death was a heart attack or fever. pls don’t believe them.

the officers have been suspended. but we don’t want just suspension. we want accountability. we want punishment. please help us. ACAB. i will be attaching petition links soon.
