When we talk of police brutality, the SC-appointed 3-member Commission in Hyderabad encounter was supposed to submit its report by 12 June.

Did any media outlet follow up?

4 men were shot dead in cold blood. The actual rapists are still probably roaming free.

We’ll never know.
Since 2017, there have been 5000 police “encounters” in UP.

That’s an average of 5 police “encounters” PER DAY.

Are we to assume that these were ALL shootings in “self-defense”?

Not a single cop has been held accountable.

This is the state of police brutality in India.
The Tuticorin police could torture & murder Jayaraj and Bennix with impunity because they KNOW they’ll get away with it.

As a nation, we’ve gotten desensitized to police brutality & killings.

Justice never happens because we don’t demand it.
