Tamil Nadu Government appointed P Amudha, Principal Secretary of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department, as the High-Level Investigating Officer to probe the alleged custodial torture by Ambasamudram ASP Balveer Singh. The Investigating Officer is also scheduled to submit a report within a month.
According to ANI, “Tamil Nadu Government appoints Principal Secretary of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department P Amudha as High-Level Investigate Officer to enquire in detail regarding alleged custodial torture by Ambasamudram ASP Balveer Singh and other possible complaints of custodial torture in the Ambasamudram Police station limit. Within a month, the investigating officer P Amudha will file a report on this.”
Last month, Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin in the Assembly said that Ambasamudram ASP Balveer Singh has been suspended for suspected custodial torture. However, he said, a proper investigation will be conducted and the guilty will not be spared.
