The post-mortem report of custodial Death victim Ajith Kumar, accessed by India Today, reveals 44 injuries, including deep muscle contusions, brain bleeding, and internal organ trauma. The findings strongly suggest prolonged, violent physical torture leading to death.
A post-mortem report in the Tamil Nadu custodial death case revealed that Ajith Kumar suffered from massive internal bleeding and trauma, consistent with severe and widespread physical assault. The findings of the report, accessed by India Today, provide strong medical evidence of extreme violence, likely sustained over a prolonged period, and is consistent with torture that resulted in death.
The presence of petechial haemorrhages in internal organs like the heart and liver, and subscalp contusions, indicate blunt force trauma and internal bleeding not typically seen in accidental injuries or isolated assault, but rather in prolonged, deliberate physical abuse.
EVIDENCE CONSISTENT WITH TORTURE LEADING TO DEATH
Apart from the brain injuries, there were petechial haemorrhages — tiny internal bleed marks — in major organs like heart, liver and stomach wall. They are signs that the body was under extreme strain, often due to heavy, repeated blunt force (beating) or suffocation-like pressure.
