IAS officer Amudha reached Ambasamudram on April 10 for the high-level inquiry and had met the Collector and Additional District Magistrate who had earlier investigated the matter.
Balveer Singh, former ASP of Ambasamudram, has been accused of breaking detainees’ teeth with large stones and cutting pliers at the Ambasamudram police station in the state’s Tirunelveli district.
The decision comes days after more victims, including minors, alleged custodial torture by IPS officer Balveer Singh and the state government faced sharp criticism over inaction.
