Mask-less man thrashed by 2 cops in Indore; both suspended
Indore, Apr 7: A 35-year-old man was allegedly beaten up by two police constables on the road in Madhya Pradesh's Indore city on Tuesday after a dispute over not wearing a face mask which has been made mandatory in view of the COVID-19 outbreak.
After a video of the alleged incident went viral on social media, both policemen were suspended, an official said.
Police claimed the man first assaulted and abused the constables.
In the video, the two policemen are purportedly seen thrashing the man on the street even as his teenage son and some women beg for mercy.
Superintendent of Police (East) Ashutosh Bagri said the two constables seen in the video have been suspended and a City Superintendent of Police (CSP) has been asked to investigate the matter.
Bagri claimed the victim was not wearing a face mask in public and the policemen stopped him to seek explanation for violating the COVID-19 norm.
The man grabbed the collar of one of the constables and started abusing and assaulting him and his colleagues, the police officer claimed.
"The video of the incident which is going viral on social media has been edited and cropped to tarnish the image of the police," Bagri said.
Another police official said the 35-year-old man seen in the video faces cheating and extortion cases in the city.
Policemen in Indore brutally beating a man for not wearing a mask (which he should) while his child cries, pleading infront of the cops. @ChouhanShivraj will your shameless policemen do the same to PM Modi or BJP leaders who say "no need to wear mask"?

Prajwal Revanna sex scandal: Arrest warrant issued against the absconding MP
Bengaluru: A Court has issued an arrest warrant against Hassan JD(S) MP, Prajwal Revanna in connection with the sexual abuse charges. The warrant was issued on the requisition of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) after Prajwal Revanna failed to appear before the Special Investigation Team despite being served a notice, reported NDTV.
The case against Revanna involves a controversy surrounding explicit videos, leaked through numerous pen drives in Hassan, which allegedly show him sexually assaulting several women. These video clips emerged on social media shortly after the Second phase of the Lok Sabha elections held on April 26.
The Karnataka Police's SIT, formed to deal with the case, has been waiting for Prajwal’s return to Bengaluru to surrender to the team. The 33-year-old MP left to Germany on April 27 using a diplomatic passport and has reportedly travelled to England from there.
