Mask Slipped From Nose, Man Beaten Mercilessly By Cops In Madhya Pradesh
An incident of appalling cruelty in Madhya Pradesh has taken place following the Central and state governments’ order to enforce safety measures for Covid. A man in Indore was severely beaten up by two policemen, allegedly for his failure to wear a mask properly.
The mask of Krishna Keyer, a 35-year-old auto rickshaw driver, had slipped down his nose when he was on way to meet his ailing father in a hospital. Noticing this, two policemen caught him on the road and demanded that he come to the police station. When he refused, they started beating him up.
A cellphone video taken by a bystander shows them kicking and punching the man mercilessly as he lay on the ground…. Though the policemen – Kamal Prajapat and Dharmendra Jat – were identified, no action was taken. Only after the video was circulated widely, they were suspended and sent to the Police Lines….
