KOZHIKODE: Aboobaker, father of Manzoor, co-accused taken along with Tamir Jifri in the Tanur custody death case has now come up with a shocking revelation against police inhumanity. According to Aboobaker, almost 20 policemen used third-degree torture against his son after Manzoor revealed to crime branch officials the torture suffered at the hands of officers.

Manzoor in his statements said he saw DANSAF officials beating Tamir. After his statements, the officials tortured Manzoor and forced him to take back his statements and write an apology.

Last day, the suspended SI revealed that it was the District Anti-Narcotics Special Action Force (DANSAF) who tortured Tamir Jifri. Aboobaker meanwhile strongly believes that Manzoor was trapped in the drug case.

The crime branch team investigating the case has not been able to interrogate the DANSAF members. According to government norms, if there happens any custodial murder in Kerala, the case should be handed over to CBI for detailed investigation. However, if reports are to be believed, the CBI will not hurry to take the case as the autopsy report of Jifri still looms in ambiguity.
