No Action 3 Days After UP Cops Thrash Protesters
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. Three days later, there is still no action against the BJP MLA. On tonight's episode of Left, Right & Centre, we ask how we, as a society can accept extra-judicial action so easily. Why should it take the UP police so long to take action, and how is it that a serving MLA can so casually justify violence?
