India Cops Sentenced for Custody Deaths

0:00On April 6, 9 police officers in India just got death sentences for the custody deaths of a 58-year-old father and his. 38-year-old son, back in 2020. The two men from Tamil Nadu got picked up for keeping their phone shop open past lockdown rules during the early COVID days, then faced brutal. Beatings while stripped and assaulted, right in front of each other. Words for a fast, sparking protests across Tamil Nadu, with opposition leaders hitting the streets, while big names like Rahul Gandhi and cricket star. Shikar Dhuwan called out for justice online, shining a light on India's ongoing police brutality issues. Last month, the officers were convicted of murder and the judge slammed them hard, saying they meant to kill unarmed folks and deserve no breaks. Just because they're educated or have families, one of the ten arrested even died from COVID back then. They can still appeal, but cases like this keep pushing for real police reforms, especially after UN experts urged India to fix its system and cut the custody deaths happening way too often.
