Video showing cops beating man accused of molestation goes viral
Bengaluru: An inquiry has been ordered into police thrashing a man accused of molestation after a video of the incident in May surfaced and went viral this week. Deputy commissioner of police N Shashikumar told PTI that the inquiry has been ordered by the city police commissioner and a report would be submitted after completion of the probe.
Kumar said the incident happened at the Subramanyanagar police station in May this year.
The video shows policemen in civvies holding the accused while another policeman is seen beating him on the soles of his feet with a hockey stick.
Yashwanth, an electrician by profession, was picked up by the police after a girl working at a parking lot of a mall complained he had molested her.
Also, she alleged that Yashwanth took her to a secluded place where he misbehaved with her.
She further alleged he threatened to rape her, attack her with acid and kill every member of her family, the officer said.

Arrive 3 hours early: Airlines urge passengers as centre tightens airport security after Pak attack
New Delhi: Airlines have asked passengers to reach airports at least three hours before departure after the Centre increased security measures in response to Pakistan’s ongoing attack, reported India Today.
According to the Ministry of Civil Aviation, all passengers will now face a Secondary Ladder Point Check (SLPC) before boarding. The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has directed all airports and airlines to step up security.
Air India said, “Passengers are advised to arrive at least three hours prior to departure. Check-in closes 75 minutes before departure.” Akasa Air and IndiGo issued similar advisories, asking passengers to allow more time for security checks.
All passengers must carry valid photo ID and will undergo secondary checks before boarding. Visitor entry to terminals has been banned, and Air Marshals will be deployed as required.
The moves come as India’s defence systems shot down Pakistani missiles and drones in Jammu, Punjab, and Rajasthan. At least 21 airports are shut till May 10, and several flights are cancelled. Civilian aircraft are avoiding airspace over Pakistan and India’s western corridor, data from Flightradar24 shows.
