RAHUL CONDOLES TN DEATHS

NEWDELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday condoled the death of a trader and his son in Tamil Nadu’s Tuticorin district after being allegedly beaten up by police, and said it is a tragedy when protectors turn into oppressors. P Jayaraj and his son Fennix, arrested for violating lockdown norms, died at a hospital in Kovilpatti, with the relatives alleging that they were severely thrashed by police personnel.

“Police brutality is a terrible crime. It’s a tragedy when our protectors turn into oppressors,” Gandhi said.
