Judge R Joseph Joy, in his order, convicted inspector S Alexraj (55), sub-inspector R Ravichandran (61), head constable S Ravichandran (55), and grade 1 constable C Satheesh Kumar (38), who are currently under suspension, under Sections 343 (Wrongful confinement) and 304(II) IPC (Culpable homicide not amounting to murder).
