Earlier this week, five policemen were arrested in connection with temple security guard Ajith Kumar’s death in light of an alleged custodial torture. Unsettling visuals of the Tamil Nadu case capturing branch officers brutally beating the man near a temple emerged online. Since then, another such incident of police brutality has come to light from the Indian state.
The new CCTV footage surfacing on Wednesday revealed multiple cops ruthlessly beating an auto driver.
BJP Functionary Amar Prasad Reddy instantly took to his social media profile to call out Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam political party.
“Another shocking case of custodial torture under DMK rule — this time in Theni!” he wrote on X, sharing a regional news channel’s coverage of the contentious headline. “CCTV footage reveals an auto driver being brutally tortured by the police. CM @mkstalin, your government has become a curse on the people of Tamil Nadu.”
