The judgment of the Madras High Court records the following account. A Paramakudi woman, a domestic worker taken into Paramakudi police custody for interrogation in a theft case (Cr. No. 455/2002), was found hanging at the wireless tower behind the station on 1 December 2002; the post-mortem showed ante-mortem injuries and the DSPs own counter regarded it as a custodial death. The RDO enquiry under PSO 151 found fault but led only to a Section 306 IPC private complaint (S.C. No. 105/2007). The court held the sequence and medical evidence revealed tell-tale custodial violence, expressed displeasure at the handling, stayed the sessions trial, directed a DSP-led CB-CID reinvestigation with final report in six months, and ordered Rs.3 lakhs compensation to the husband and daughter within four weeks. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
