The victim, a 26-year-old suspect involved in multiple robberies, was initially arrested by the Vaddukoddai Police. He was later remanded by the Mallakam Court.
He was admitted to Jaffna Hospital due to a sudden illness after being sent to the Jaffna Prison. Despite being returned to prison on November 16, the suspect fell ill again on November 19 and succumbed after admission to the Jaffna Hospital's emergency unit.
Forensic medical reports indicated that the injuries on the suspect's body had led to his death.
When the case was taken up before the court on Thursday, the Magistrate ordered to arrest the officers implicated in the incident.
