The New Indian Express Dharmapuri
|August 22, 2025
A woman lawyer has alleged custodial torture by Greater Chennai Police during the midnight arrest of sanitary workers on August 13 and sought the Madras High Court to order a judicial inquiry even as the state complained of bail condition violations by K Bharathi, the advocate who was spearheading the 13-day strike.
S Arthi, the woman lawyer, filed an affidavit in the HC praying for the inquiry into the "unlawful arrest," the subsequent "custodial violence" suffered by herself and law student Valarmathi after they were picked up by the police in Velachery, where they had gone to meet the arrested workers.
