Around nine men beg and try to block blows raining incessantly on them from two policemen armed with sticks in what appears to be a police station, but in vain. A video of the incident shared by an Uttar Pradesh BJP MLA on Twitter with the caption "return gift for rioters" has triggered criticism of the cops and allegations of police brutality by the opposition. MLA Shalabh Mani Tripathi is a former journalist and used to be media advisor to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
