Chennai:A man in Tamil Nadu who was allegedly killed while in police custody suffered 44 external and many internal injuries, according to the autopsy report. The report said a linear 3-cm scar and three other old scars are consistent with cigarette burns.
Ajith Kumar, 28, who worked as a temple guard in Tamil Nadu's Sivaganga, was initially detained for questioning following a theft at Madapuram Kaliamman temple in Thirupuvanam.
His forehead, arms, knee, foot and gluteal region had several abrasions and contusions, the post-mortem report showed.
A cut section of the brain appeared congested, the autopsy report said, suggesting an excessive accumulation of blood within the brain's blood vessels. This phenomenon, often referred to as cerebral congestion or brain congestion, can be caused by traumatic brain injury from impacts to the head.
His family has been telling the state government that the police tortured him to death in their custody.
The case has sparked a huge political row in the state ruled by the DMK under Chief Minister MK Stalin.
Tamil Nadu BJP chief Nainar Nagendran said he will visit Ajith Kumar's house in Sivagangai district's Thirupuvanam tomorrow to offer his condolences.
