Overview

• Footage identifies then Sub-Inspector Nuhman and CPOs Shashindran, Sandeep and Sajeevan beating V. S. Sujith inside the Kunnamkulam station on April 5, 2023.
• The Kunnamkulam First Class Judicial Magistrate Court had earlier taken the unusual step of directly registering a case against the officers, and the trial is underway.
• A Chavakkad court-ordered exam found Sujith was not intoxicated, and later tests recorded partial hearing loss in one ear.
• An earlier report by Crime Records Bureau officer K. C. Sethu to the City Police Commissioner acknowledged the assault based on the same CCTV.
• Congress leaders Ramesh Chennithala and V. D. Satheesan are urging the immediate dismissal of the accused policemen and swift disciplinary action.
