Actor Rajinikanth on Wednesday said those responsible for the twin custodial deaths at Sathankulam should be punished. “We need to ensure that,” Rajinikanth said in a statement, which was his first official reaction on the incident, even though he spoke to the family of the deceased over phone a few days ago.
“Even after people opposed and condemned the barbaric way the father and the son (P Jeyaraj and J Beniks) were tortured and killed, I am shocked at the way some policemen brazenly acted in the presence of a magistrate. All those involved should definitely be punished and we need to ensure that,” Rajinikanth said in the statement.
The statement was tweeted with a hashtag ‘satthiyama vidave koodadhu’ (I swear they shouldn’t go scot free) in Tamil. The tweet, which had a picture of a grim looking Rajinikanth, started trending nationally, soon after. While many hailed his statement as one of the “strongest” on the Sathankulam episode, quite a few questioned his delayed reaction on the episode, which has already been condemned nationally with even Bollywood stars and cricketers joining in.
