In June 2020, a father and son were dragged into the Sathankulam police station in Tamil Nadu for the crime of keeping their mobile phone shop open a few minutes past lockdown hours. What happened inside that station over the next fifteen hours would later force constables to change six blood-soaked lungis, leave DNA splatter across the walls, and send Jayaraj and Bennix to a hospital morgue within days. This week on Desi Crime, we unpack how a petty lockdown violation became India’s closest parallel to George Floyd, why the doctors and magistrate who saw the victims alive did nothing, and how a rare “rarest of rare” verdict finally put nine police officers on death row six years later.
