A Dalit man died in police custody after arrest for a machete attack, sparking allegations of torture and protests over custodial violence.
A 26-year-old Dalit man, Akash Denison, died in judicial custody at Madurai’s Government Rajaji Hospital on March 8, 2026, after being arrested for a machete attack linked to a minor dispute.
Police said he sustained a leg fracture during a struggle while resisting arrest, but his family alleges he was tortured, claiming officers broke his leg and beat him.
He was transferred from Sivaganga Hospital to Madurai for treatment and died from respiratory issues, with preliminary reports suggesting possible fat embolism.
The family disputes the official account, demanding a transparent post-mortem under court supervision.
The case has ignited protests and raised concerns over custodial violence, particularly against marginalized communities.
