Court initiates action on his complaint
A Sri Lankan who was arrested in the sea recently in connection with a drug haul reportedly suffered burns due to alleged torture on board a Coast Guard vessel.
The alleged ill-treatment of the man at the hands of Coast Guard officials came to light when the accused in the drug haul case were produced before K. Biju Menon, Additional Sessions Judge 1, Thiruvananthapuram, on Friday.
The burns victim, identified as L.Y. Nandana, 46, of Nakulugamuwa, Sri Lanka, complained to the court that the officials made him lie in a supine position on a heated iron plate used for cooking in the patrolling vessel of the Coast Guard.
