Once again, the police are in the news for all the wrong reasons. Last week, there was a viral video showing police officers violently assaulting young men at a lounge in Nandi Hills town who were found playing pool.
The footage shows the youths peacefully engaged in a leisure activity when the police entered the venue. They were subjected to dehumanising punishment, made to lie down on the floor and beaten. There is no indication that the young men had done anything to warrant such treatment.
