PATHANAMTHITTA: In a new dramatic turn, police released video footage to bust Afsana’s claim of torture while in custody. Police reiterated their stance saying Afsana was peddling lies to wriggle out from the case. They also debunked Afsana’s injury scars which she earlier showed to the media as purported evidence of police torture. The police labeled it as a well-weaved plan to go against the police force.

The CCTV footage of Afsana’s interrogation was transferred to higher officials. In the video, Afsana can be seen totally nonchalant while admitting to murdering her husband. Earlier, she said about confessing to the crime only after experiencing inhumane treatment from the police force.

“ I never confessed to killing my husband. I loved him more than anything so it won't pass my mind to do such a gruesome act. It was the police who wrote the statements as if I confessed. I never showed any pit near my house. The police voluntarily dug up the space to implant me in the case. I was a mere spectator but nothing else” Afsana said.

“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 to me. The policemen threatened to implicate them in the case.”
