The custodial death of shop-owner Jayaraj and his son Emmanuel Bennis, has sparked a huge controversy on the actions of police officials. While some officers go through many trials and tribulations to perform their duty in saving the people from imminent dangers, incidents such as the Sathankulam tragedy brings disgrace to the whole department.

In the wake of details about the death, the whole country has questioned the right of the police, the conduct of the sub-inspectors and all officials present at the police station during the incident as well as that of Sathankulam Judicial Magistrate B Saravanan.
