Outrage Erupts: Congress Intensifies Protests Over Shocking Kunnamkulam Custodial Torture

A storm of indignation has swept across Kerala as the Congress party dramatically escalated its protests, demanding swift justice in the horrific Kunnamkulam custodial torture case. The heart-wrenching allegations of police brutality against P.J. Jaison have ignited a fierce political and public outcry, turning the spotlight firmly on the state’s law enforcement and the LDF government.

The District Congress Committee (DCC), spearheading the charge, orchestrated a powerful march to the Kunnamkulam police station, culminating in a fervent sit-in demonstration.

This isn't merely a political maneuver; it's a profound expression of collective outrage against what many describe as a barbaric assault on human dignity and a blatant disregard for due process. Leaders, including DCC president Jose Valloor, along with prominent MLAs and senior party figures, stood united, their voices resonating with a singular demand: accountability.

P.J.

Jaison’s alleged ordeal in police custody has sent shivers down the spine of the state. Reports indicate he was subjected to brutal treatment, leading to severe injuries that necessitated his hospitalization. The very institution meant to uphold justice and protect citizens is now accused of inflicting unspeakable suffering, prompting a deep crisis of faith in the police force among the populace.

During the intense protests, Congress leaders vehemently condemned the actions of the police, accusing them of wielding their power with impunity.

They didn't mince words, directly pointing fingers at the LDF government for its perceived failure to rein in police excesses and for creating an environment where such atrocities can reportedly flourish. Speakers highlighted a worrying trend of increasing police high-handedness under the current administration, arguing that the Kunnamkulam incident is not an isolated case but symptomatic of a larger systemic issue.

The demands from the protesting Congress party are clear, firm, and non-negotiable.

They are calling for the immediate suspension of all police officers implicated in the alleged torture. Furthermore, the party insists on a comprehensive judicial inquiry to thoroughly investigate the incident, ensuring that truth prevails and justice is served without compromise. Crucially, they are also demanding adequate compensation for P.J.

Jaison, acknowledging the immense physical and psychological trauma he has endured.

This renewed push by the Congress is aimed at keeping the pressure on the government, ensuring that the issue does not fade from public memory and that concrete, punitive action is taken against those responsible.

The party leadership vows to continue its agitation until their demands are met, emphasizing that no society can tolerate such acts of violence by those sworn to protect it. The Kunnamkulam custodial torture case has become a symbol of the fight against police brutality and a rallying cry for human rights in Kerala.
