Eliminating Deaths and Abuse in Custody Together chairman M Visvanathan, representing the families of R Richard, G Murthy and MM Muniandy, said the families had written several times to the relevant authorities and coroners' courts but had yet to receive a response.
Speaking at a press conference today, Visvanathan urged the Attorney-General's Chambers to invoke Section 339 of the Criminal Procedure Code to direct coroners to hold inquests into the three deaths.
