Caning by police to implement lockdown raises hackles
The Hindu
Three complaints filed with human rights commission against police
Police across the State on Monday began enforcing a strict lockdown, often resorting to caning motorists and those on the streets. Such instances were reported from across the State. In many instances, the policemen allegedly caned everyone in sight indiscriminately, even those out on medical emergencies and other permitted activities, raising hackles. At least three complaints — by two lawyers and Congress leader Ramesh Babu — were filed against the Karnataka Police with the Karnataka State Human Rights Commission (KSHRC)in this regard on Monday.More Related News
