Sabari Varman custodial death case: CB-CID’s charge-sheet says attack by fellow prisoners, warders caused death

The charge-sheet filed by the CB-CID, which is investigating the mysterious custodial death of petty shop owner Sabari Varman in Nagercoil Sub-Jail, said the brutal attack unleashed in the jail by prison inmates and jail warders was the reason for the death.

The CB-CID’s 1,200-page charge-sheet filed on Monday before the court cited 11 persons, including three prison warders and eight prisoners, as accused.

The charge-sheet said Sabari Varman was beaten to death by the prisoners after his hands and legs were tied with his ‘lungi’. Since he was lying on the floor for long with his hands and legs tied after the attack he died, the investigating agency said.
