PATHANAMTHITTA: Afsana, accused in the missing case of Nousahd, levelled serious allegations against the police. Afsana said the police fabricated the case against her. She also said that the police tortured her brutally.

‘I am not that cruel to kill my husband. I have no mental problems. The police forced me to say that I killed my husband. I did not show the pit, they dug there. I had not shown any place. I just stood behind the police. I cannot commit such a crime alone. Top official DySP tortured me brutally and then a person called Firoz. I don't know the names of others, but can identify them. Those in uniform and civil dress beat me. They punched me. No one would harm even a male like this. My family is everything for me. The policemen threatened to implicate them in the case.'

‘Anyone would confess as such was the brutality. We have heard about the third degree of the police. They said that I killed my husband. I had to confess thinking of my child. They tortured me in the counselling room for children. I tolerated a lot until I went to the jail. I will be taken for collecting evidence on Thursday. They took me saying there are no cameras, but there were many cameras there,' said Afsana.
