I wonder whether Rashmun and Merlot believe the police line on this one.

Here is what looks like another instance of police brutality, but this time the government controlling the police is run by a BJP ally. The government's response is two-fold; one they say the opposition parties are trying to get political benefit out of the story, two the police say they stomped on the unarmed victim in self-defense. Sounds familiar? It should. Now that the shoe is on the other foot and the lathi is in the other hand, are the words of the perpetrators of violence any less credible?

On 3 June, police bullets and atrocities took four lives, including an seven-month-old baby, a pregnant woman and an injured man, who was heinously stomped to death. In a statement that makes a mockery of the irrefutable evidence against them, the police are justifying the killings as an act of “self-defence”.

The brutality of the police emerged in a blood-curdling video of a cop, Sunil Kumar Yadav, literally jumping on a prostrate and injured man, pummelling him to death. This two-minute long video footage is so disturbing that one shudders to think of those who saw it with their own eyes.

It seems police brutality has plummeted to such depths that people have given up protesting.
