The Madras High Court has directed Tamil Nadu authorities to conduct the last rites for Akash Delison, who died in police custody in Sivaganga, after his family refused to receive the body.

The court stated that the family's refusal to accept the body left it with no option but to authorise state authorities to proceed according to law. The case involves allegations of custodial torture leading to the victim's death.
