He was the Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) of Ambasamudram when he was suspended in connection with four cases of custodial torture.
The Central Bureau of Investigation’s Crime Branch-Criminal Investigation Department (CB-CID) has filed chargesheets against him in all four cases.
Despite the chargesheets, the Tamil Nadu government has revoked his suspension.
The reasons for the revocation of the suspension are not yet clear. It is possible that the government may have considered factors such as the strength of the evidence against Singh, the completion of the investigation, or the need for him to participate in his own defense.
Here are some additional details that may be relevant:
Custodial torture is a serious offense in India, and it is punishable by up to seven years in prison.
The CB-CID is a specialized unit of the CBI that investigates serious crimes.
The Tamil Nadu government is led by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party, which has been in power since 2021.
