DMK leader and former chief minister M K Stalin questions Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay’s silence on alleged custodial deaths, according to multiple reports. Stalin says the state government is not taking accountability and is not offering even formal apologies to families of victims. He argues that Vijay, who has previously suggested that apologies are not enough in such cases, is now not addressing the issue despite continuing allegations. The opposition leader also criticizes what he calls a lack of compassion toward affected families.

The reports refer to an ongoing case involving a death in Tuticorin, which police deny. The dispute highlights the broader controversy around custodial deaths and the government’s handling of investigations and public responses. Stalin’s comments frame the issue as a failure of transparency and redress, while the police denial in the cited case underscores that official accounts and allegations remain contested. The developments keep attention on how authorities investigate complaints and communicate with the public as custodial-death allegations continue.
