An incident of appalling cruelty in Madhya Pradesh has taken place following the Central & state governments' order to enforce safety measures for Covid-19. A man in Indore was severely beaten up by two policemen, allegedly for his failure to wear a mask properly. The mask of Krishna Keyer, a 35-year-old auto rickshaw driver, had slipped down his nose when he was on way to meet his ailing father in a hospital, reported NDTV. Noticing this, two policemen caught him on the road & demanded that he come to the police station. When he refused, they started beating him up. A cellphone video taken by a bystander shows them kicking and punching the man mercilessly as he lay on the ground, vainly trying to shield himself. His young son, who was accompanying him, kept screaming for help. The assault took place in the middle of a road in broad daylight, but while the bystanders stopped and clicked photos, no one came to help him. Only after the video was circulated widely, they were suspended & sent to the Police Lines.
