Sashi Tharoor :

The tragedy of the custodial deaths in Tuticorin should be a wake-up call to all of us who turn a blind eye to police brutality:https://t.co/rnSZSwWSGp
Compare the outrage the death of #GeorgeFloyd sparked across the world, w/the lack of national outrage here. Justice denied?

Dear Bollywood celebrities, have you heard what happened in Tamil Nadu or does your instagram activism only extend for other countries? The George Floyds of India are far too many. The story of such police violence & sexual abuse is just heartbreaking. #JusticeForJeyarajAndFenix

The brutal custodial killings in Tamil Nadu should shake every citizen. Why have criminal charges not been filed against those police officers for their criminal, barbaric and depraved killings? Why are our TV channels silent? #JusticeforJayarajAndBennix
