“Our case is that a prison officer had been angered by Dinesh, who had shown him the middle finger and uttered a vulgarity at him. They then let Dinesh out to the yard (when he was not supposed to be in the yard that day), when that prison officer who had been angered set upon Dinesh and assaulted him. Other prison officers joined in the assault. When they brought him to the cell, they knew he was already unconscious and unresponsive. He was deliberately left in the cell with no effort to resuscitate him.” “In other words we want the government to admit liability based on our version of the facts and not the government’s version.” “The actions by the officers were not merely a negligent act but deliberate and intentional. This is diametrically opposed to the way that the government has presented its account of the circumstances of Dinesh’s death.” - Lawyer M Ravi, acting on behalf of Mother of dead inmate Dinesh Raman seeking for aggravated damages from the Government
