In India, an AFP news agency reported on Tuesday that a father and son were arrested for violating the containment guidelines and were killed after police torture.

In the United States last month, the voice of the unarmed black man George Floyd, who died of police brutality, has been called the'Indian version of Floyd'.

On the 19th, Jayaraj Immanuel and Benix Immanuel, who run a store in Tamil Nadu, southeastern India, were arrested by the police because they did not follow authorized business hours.

This area is where containment measures were introduced to prevent the spread of corona19.

Local authorities say they died in the hospital days after the rich were arrested.

Their survivors sent a letter to the government urging the rich to be punished by police officers who joined the assault, saying they had died after suffering severe torture from the police and suffering job bleeding.

Prime Minister Edafadi Palaniswami Tamil Nadu said on Tuesday that two police officers involved in the case were suspended and said they would "take action against the case by law."

This led to protests in Tamil Nadu last week and shops in the area went on strike on the 24th.

On the Internet, hashtags that spread the name of the rich man'Jayatice for Justice' (#JusticeForJayarajandBennix) are spreading.

The netizens called the victims'George Floyd of India', and even celebrities and politicians were added to urge the police involved.

"In India, there are too many George Floyds," said Zignesi Mevani, a member of Gujarat State in western India.

Actor Christle De Suja also said on Twitter, "Let's ask for the same definition we asked for George Floyd."

It seems that the insurgency of Indians in this case is due to the serious police violence in India.

According to a report published by the National Human Rights Commission of India, 3,146 people were detained and killed by police in 2017-2018.

The report analyzed that, on average, violence was reported in 15 detentions per day, and about 9 people died in detention every 24 hours.

He pointed out, "Violence and torture during detention in India are so widespread that it has become almost an ordinary level."
