A Dalit man named Ramu from Nuthankal village in Telangana’s Suryapet district has accused two police officers of assaulting him. The alleged incident took place on the night of December 31, but the matter gained attention after a video surfaced on social media on Wednesday.
The video shows Ramu speaking to an official, with visible injuries on his arms and legs. His family members can be seen crying in the background.
Recounting the incident, Ramu claimed he was standing outside his house when two police officers approached and questioned him. “They asked why I was standing there, and I told them it’s my house,” Ramu said. A verbal altercation followed, after which the officers allegedly took him to the station and assaulted him.
The police have said that an inquiry has been initiated to investigate the matter. However, the official declined to provide further details.
